I appreciate we are all enthusiasts here ... but honestly this is a red flag for me (substitute e-reader for smart-phone or netbook OS) ... the LAST thing I want to do is fool around with "rooting my device" and making it into something different than what I purchased.
The whole point of buying an Amazon Kindle is that they've already figured out how to "make it go" so that all I do is drive. I don't care what's under the hood ... I just want to get to the library in order to curl up and read. The only features I am interested in are the ones provided by Kindle right out of the box.
Once upon a time I thought Heath Kit was a great way to get a stereo receiver ... build it yourself. And Wine Art was a cool way to bottle my personal Merlot. These days ... not so much. Give me an e-reader that let's me ... read. Period.
