<br>
</div>I should have said 'other-OS _or_ enhancement prospects'. Sometimes, it's<br>
just not feasible to convert an embedded device like an e-book reader to<br>
a completely different OS, and yet after 'jailbreaking' to put it in<br>
your full control you can make siginficant improvements such as (in the<br>
case of many recent Kindles) changing the screensaver image, adding your<br>
own typefaces, and adding applications of your choosing.<br>
<br>
In the case of several Nook tablet, other-OS modifications were possible<br>
because the bootloader wasn't locked and you were permitted to make it<br>
boot from an SD device holdeing the alternative OS. I vaguely recall<br>
that many Kindles have been tougher nuts to crack.<br>
