There are a lot of things that have to be done like region, line, and word detection, de-hyphenation, picture detection and resizing, stripping column titles, etc. Not to mention rebuilding output pages. However, roughly half of those have been solved and the results are quite promising. The output is all graphical, so footnotes and search won't work, but at least you will be able to read something with normal sized font (hopefully).
I am expecting my Kindle 3 to arrive next week and I will continue to work on that little program if nothing interferes.
