That capability is provided by the OpenInkpot firmware (only on V3 for now) by allowing a connection to the reader's Linux via SSH over USB. AFAIK, none of the reseller's firmware provide any access method like that. Their access method just makes the reader look like a dumb SD card over USB, with no direct interaction with the Linux OS. The SSH access in OpenInkpot is very handy since you can edit scripts and configuration files on the system. It does add a bit more complexity to adding books to your device's library though. Unfortunately, OI is not available for V5 yet so I guess this response was hardly worth typing.
