I have recently bought a Scribe 1st Gen, when it was on sale.

Rooting it was a hassle, but it was worth it.

The excellent hardware (display, enclosure) combined with Koreader makes it really joyful to read technical books and documents, especially when combined with Calibre.

As one of those books was about Lisp, i also installed Kterm, tmux, the joe editor and tinysheme, which served as a decent Scheme Playground/IDE while i was on vacation!

is it possible to root still? I'm guessing no

The jailbreak i used is working up to FW v5.16.2, which was obsolete at the time i bought the device (approx. 2 months ago). However i was lucky, since my device came with that very FW version.
