I know a lot of apps were using the epd screen on alex, especially coming out of Russia despite no SDK for it. So it must be very simple?! even the stock browser, email went dual screen. I like my Alex, is the nicer book reader, slimmer than anything, email is usable, music player,etc. the lcd screen is not much use for complicated work.
This is where I hoped Edge will do much better. But edge screen integration is completely crap. this is where those 2 companies failed, but not disclosing the sdk there was no software development from the community and their one man development team was good for nothing.
I am surprised on the company demise the sdk or complete source code was not released or at least leaked. that would helped the 200k users around.
