PRS-500 PDF or similar holes?

I see you are about to gain access by reflashing. For less adventurous people, have you checked if the acrobat-standard launch of external applications from pdf does work?

Good idea

If you don't know what arivero is referring to, check out this iLiad thread:

Basically specially-prepared PDF files may allow you to run any external application. This worked well to hack an older iLiad firmware.
