Hi !

I have a (stupid) questions:

Is it possible to use JabRef (bibtex library manager) on Pocketbook.

It is one thing to have thousands of PDF articles on your ebook reader, which I need at work - but it is another thing to have them easily accessible. So, on my PC I use jabref for sorting and accessing the PDFs - but is the same possible on a Pocketbook ?

Is it possible to run Latex on the pocketbook ?

When I am in the plane or train, I am fed up to pack and unpack my laptop to write ordinary text in ASCII (which is the basis for Latex). But in principle, since the pocketbook runs on Linux, it should be feasible to have a working Latex environment installed onto it ?! Considering the used processor, it should certainly take some time for compiling - but on the plane, I have enough of it.

Any suggestion about these possibilities ?
