That is a good question indeed - maybe I will my thoughts together on some form of requirements page. I guess its less new features that are missing - the good ones are just spread on two devices, and should be combined into one. E.g. the new zoom functionality of the m92 is great, and so is the listing of annotations on the 903. I really would like to have both. And so on and so on....


Further above in the thread lunohod answered the question about open sourceness - I am following his answer there.

On kernel etc. I am probably the wrong person to ask. I am just playing around here. Having said that, I used lonetechs qemu image to compile my python for 903/m92. It seems that the binaries run easily on both. "Of course" this is only for command line scripts - from what I understand the screen drivers are incompatible.

Hence I thought about maybe building (or porting) a web based pdfviewer. The idea is to have a local python based webserver that parses the pdf, generates an image and serves that out to the browser. One could probably add little functions like zoom and embolden. But I don't see an easy way for annotations (I would guess that the pan by pen on the m92 would interfere with scribbling).

Just my 2 cents.
Great ...I see that they have the sources here...
The PDF reader is based on http://podofo.sourceforge.net/
Probably a closer look at these libraries and at Onyx's sources will tell us what sort of format they use for the highlighting so we can export that decently. I believe that that is the only thing missing right now.

There is something that really intrigued me... on that github page at the bottom you can see code grouped under some "android" categories... I wonder what could that be? Does this mean that this has underlaying android code? I would love to see ezPDf reader ported on this e-reader! Actually not ported but installed :-), I don't thing the sources are available. We need a programmer in this group !
