There are versions of eReader for Palm, Windows, MacIntosh, and WPC, but there’s no version of eReader for Linux. Is that the trouble? Does the Linux OS make it impossible to get eReader to work on the eb1150?
The eb1150 (ETI-2) is not Linux based, its operating system is Nucleus from Mentor Graphics - see ETA Products. I doubt the eb1150 will get a major software upgrade, but if FictionWise ever sells an E-Ink device it would help sales if it provided a migration path for ebookwise ebooks (in addition to, say, eReader support). This would presumably be easier if the source of the device was ETI.
