Wrong.
There's ready to use document viewers for e-ink based systems (including RTF). More imortant, they are free and open source. Developers of eDGe should port openink viewers ( http://openinkpot.org ). They support almost every format:

* ePub
* FB2
* HTML, XHTML
* Plain text
* RTF
* PDF
* DjVu
* TCR (Psion compressed text)
* Plucker
* Open E-Book (OEB)
* OpenReader
* ztxt (Weasel)
* Palmdoc (Aportis)
* Mobipocket
* CHM
* xpm

There's no way that eDGe developers will make support for all of those formats on e-ink displays in reasonable time (openink project took 3 years to development bug free software). Or at least eDGe should give us root and api, so we will port it to eDGe by ourself.
