Hardware

CPU RAM WiFi Screen
800MHz Freescale MX50 ARMv7 256 MB Atheros AR6003 6″ 800 x 600

The display in detail: A 6″ E Ink Pearl with IR touch technology, 4bit greyscale color depth, 600 x 800 pixels, thus 167ppi.

I rooted my device as described in the MobileRead Wiki and I have the Android Marketplace on it. However, after all, the built in PDF reader software works best for me with its autocrop capabilities.

Going back to stock using a hard reset

Use this procedure as a factory reset does not always help.
