I should have said 'other-OS _or_ enhancement prospects'.  Sometimes, it's
just not feasible to convert an embedded device like an e-book reader to
a completely different OS, and yet after 'jailbreaking' to put it in
your full control you can make siginficant improvements such as (in the
case of many recent Kindles) changing the screensaver image, adding your
own typefaces, and adding applications of your choosing.

In the case of several Nook tablet, other-OS modifications were possible
because the bootloader wasn't locked and you were permitted to make it
boot from an SD device holdeing the alternative OS.  I vaguely recall
that many Kindles have been tougher nuts to crack.
