Looks really good. Is it a modified pdfviewer? The source for that is available at pocketbook-free. I'd be quite interested in more details.

As for being late with the SDK, YES, it is that bad - because they're distributing code they have no right to (with this behaviour)! The web browser and its supporting libraries are under LGPL, which requires them not only to publish source, but allow us to change the linked modules. As it is, it looks like they've gone out of their way to make the latter hard, and simply ignored the former.

Also do note that this SDK is not something they need to develop separately. They need to have it to produce the firmware in the first place. We're not asking for extra work, though their procedures may have made it so.

As for the 302, my guess is that will move to EABI (firmware 2.0.x series) with the next update. It just makes no sense to fragment the firmware maintenance more.
