Well there is certainly a large amount of development support for the ARM9 family. There are common tools and an active community of "hackers"/modders. The ARM9 has
support for embedded Linux built-in, and the JBL is running a Linux implementation.
There may be some modding activity for the JBL, but I've not come across it yet. There
appears to be some little space inside the JBL's case for a few possibilities, but not very
much. (maybe a bluetooth chip or something like that) Changing the screen or adding
a capacitive touchscreen might be doable (although I doubt the utility of a touchscreen
for a dedicated ereading tool).
You might want to dig out "gr8npwrfl"'s posts on his hacking efforts.
Luck;
Ken
