2nd Method - Downloading eBooks using Sony Reader Library This method is recommended if you are planning on buying ebooks from the Sony store and/or download free books from Google’s Books. Open the Reader Library. Plug your Sony eReader to your computer via USB. The Sony PRS-T1 came out in 2011, the T2 came out in 2013 and the T3 hit the market in 2014. If you are going to buy any of these models, go for the T3, you will still have a few years left before.

Cries of “I am root!” abound once again with the rooting of Sony’s PRS-T1 eBook reader. The eBook Reader Blog took the original rooting directions and then looked at some of the things you can do with root access.
This hardware is based around an ePaper display, but we must say that the performance seems to be fantastic. There may be a few missing features from the original user interface (like how pages are turned) that can be fixed with root access, but we think it’s the added Android access that makes this worth it. In the video after the break you’ll see that you can drop through to the Android 2.2 desktop and install any application you’re interested in using. This is a multi-touch display so it’s well suited for navigation although applications don’t work well yet because of excessive screen refreshing. But we’re sure that will improve with time. Of note is the ability to play music through apps like Pandora, and the ability to load content from other providers like Amazon books via the Kindle app.
Every time we write one of these rooted features we can’t help but think back to this I’m a Mac spoof video…. you’ll see why in the last few seconds.
I’ve had a few days to experiment with my newly hacked Sony PRS-T1, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it needs a lot of work, so I decided to un-root it to take it back to its stock functionality.

The truth is the Nook Touch makes for a much better hacked E Ink tablet; I’d rather use it for Android apps for the time being unless the PRS-T1 package gets some major improvements.

Among a number of issues, the biggest negatives with rooting the PRS-T1, I found, is that the page-buttons no longer work for scrolling when using the web browser, there’s only enough memory to install 3-5 small apps and most apps won’t work, even the same ones that work fine on the Nook, and the constant black flashing for excessive page refreshing can induce seizures (okay, maybe not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did).
To un-root the Sony PRS-T1, you use the exact same process as rooting it; you just download a different file instead.
But be warned, you’ll have to go back to square one. Your Reader account will be erased, you’ll have to re-enter your Adobe ID and Wi-Fi password, and all the bookmarks in the web browser will be erased. Oddly, the Reader still remembers notes, collections, and last-page read for all your sideloaded ebooks, which still remain, so it’s not like a full reset.
Un-root Sony PRS-T1 Directions
1. Download the Rescue Set for the PRS-T1 from the original rooting thread at The eBook.
2. Extract the recovery set on your computer.
3. Plug the Sony PRS-T1 into your computer with the USB cable and select to enter data transfer mode (mine just kept saying “connecting” but it still worked).
4. Open the restore set folder and double click “flash_reader.bat”. When the command prompt opens, hit Y then enter to proceed. A few minutes will pass as it works, then hit “any key” when asked. The Reader will reset and then it’s back to original stock functionality.
Once you restore the PRS-T1 all the rooting stuff is gone and all the original features work again like normal.
