I just don't trust wireless networks and I don't trust myself to properly secure them either.

Currently, FBReader-0.12.1 is running on my iLiad without any problem, but it takes 5 seconds to flip a page. Of the 5 secs, it takes 2 seconds for FBReader to refresh its GTK components, 1 second for xepdmgr to write data to framebuffer, and 2 seconds for iLiad to draw screen. If I can make FBReader prepare the next page in background, the speed of page-flip will be improved to 3 seconds. Although I have created my homebrew app capable of doing such task by using pthread on iLiad, I have difficulities in modding FBReader because of the complexity of FBReader. In the case of iPDF, iPDF creates image of content in the background and write the image to framebuffer. Since FBReader have several GTK components on screen, the iPDF way will not be working unless all the GTK components can converted to an image in the background. The problem is also the same even with xepdmgr, except that the step to convert GTK components to image is not needed. If you have any idea or hint, please share it.

I've got an idea on how to achieve a virtual zero boot time on the iliad (if you use it for reading).

Once I run out of battery and the last page that I was displaying just remained printed on the screen. So I thought that instead of the initial boot screen and of the shutdown screens we could implement that the last page remains painted. Maybe we could let a progress bar (like the default one) to signify that the iliad is booting or switching off.

In this way, when you switch off your iliad the last page you were reading keeps being displayed and when you reopen your iliad, in the mean time that you restart reading the device boots and gets operational again; achieving a virtual zero boot time.

Now, I've got the idea but I have no clue on how to make it work... any of you knows if it is possible?

Regards
