Re: [Trisquel-users] If you could go back in time and talk to your former "owned" self

It turns out the Sony readers all run a simple GNU/Linux system called  
"Montavista Linux". So in theory it would be possible to port some custom  
software to it. Have a look here. They have ways of modding icons:

Some later Sony readers run Android. It is possible to use permission  
escalation exploits to gain root access and install custom apps. I am not  
sure if you need root access to install Fdroid. There is Relaunch, a custom  
launcher for eebook readers with e-ink displays.
