There has appeared a very interesting discussion in the German part of the forum concerning this topic. I'm taking Alaska's idea and porting it to the English-speaking forum.

As of today, Pocketbook has an established image of an Open Source-friendly company. FBReader180 is, so to say, the flagship of all that. However, Pocketbook still refuses to free its firmware. And as it's pointed out by PB, they want to set up an app store of their own.

The idea of this thread, like the German one, is to fetch ideas and feedback about how Pocketbook should approach the Open Source issue.
