txtr Beagle?

Hello everyone,

are there any plans to create a device plugin for the txtr Beagle?

This is a very, very cheap e-Reader which can only receive content from an Android smartphone via Bluetooth (in fact, it doesn't even do any rendering itself, it only displays 600x800 greyscale bitmaps). There are various open-source implementations of the protocol available:

Creating a plugin should be fairly straightforward, provided that Calibre can render to bitmaps.... is this possible?

Thanks, floe
