[Genuine question]. I'm curious as to your source on this. It seems to me to be a little unlikely that Mobipocket would have licensed the DRM to Bookeen and then not licensed any of the code for the reader. And you'd have thought that Mobipocket would be keen to work on a 'nux version of the reader that they could license to other device manufacturers. The integration with the Mobipocket desktop reader suggests that there has been a lot of collaboration. (And the fact that it's been almost impossible to get a response on the Mobipocket support forums for the last month or so may or may not have been connected with an imminent Bookeen launch). It's difficult to believe there isn't some sort of commonality.

solodoc - yes probably assuming the html is valid and all the links are OK etc.
