Are there other document formats you want to read? Utilities or programs you want to see? Games you want to play?

I can't promise to do everything, but since there aren't many other people with a DR and the ability, I'll be happy to do what I can.

If possible I think that a Notespad program in whuch it could be possible to insert (delete) pages would be useful

Hello Adam, is there a chance to see a *.lit-Reader on this device?

This would be great!

Presumably the same approach as on the iLiad will work, i.e. a pre-processor to FBReader, see Automatic .Lit extractor for the iLiad .

However, I always thought it was easier to do this on a Desktop PC. Explode the LIT to an OEB file (HTML, images and an .opf metafile) in its own directory. Under Windows I use "ConvertLIT GUI" to do this. Confirm that (Desktop) FBReader works ok when pointed to the .opf file (if not fix the .opf file, or if there is a single HTML file try it instead). If the .opf works, ZIP the directory and rename the file from .zip to .oebzip. This file is readable by FBReader. If you want to use the HTML file instead, delete the .opf and ZIP the directory. FBReader will read the .zip and bring up a dialog for you to select the HTML file for reading.

i like to see python and the qt libraries, is this possible?

MS word .doc files. Just a reader (+ scribble?), not an entire wordprocessor.

A flashcards application would be awesome. For example Mnemosyne which is open source: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/screenshots.php.

I vote for that, too.
I'd like to see on the DR a program like anki:

I'd like to go one better

A notepad program that allows you to:

Copy and paste chunks of your hand written text
Insert lines
Insert space to add missing words

I don't know how you'd do it of course, but that'd be cool.
