It does seem like he disappeared, doesn't it. Could he be buried in his Qt port, or perhaps other "life" things came up. Hope he's doing alright.

The Sony Reader finally came to Canada, it was sure nice to see eInk in person. Like many people, I have a lot of 8.5x11 PDF eBooks, so I need something like pdflrf or calibre if I'm to buy a Reader to read them.
I'm also a Mac-user... the interesting thing about pdflrf being ported to Qt is that perhaps it can be integrated with calibre depending on whether you want text-based or image-based output. I guess we'll see what happens.
I'd be quite happy with a command line version for Max OS X, for which someone else could start on a Cocoa front-end (or at least a more thorough manual). Of course Mac OS X uses BSD underneath, so threading and such is a bit different from Linux. I don't know much about it, I just know that it'd take a little more than a recompile.
For now, I'm trying out the GUI under VMware, and then viewing the lrf in OS X with calibre (which takes a while). The fidelity is quite good, I would need to diddle the settings to crop off more unnecessary white space (the Pragmatic Programmer books have full width footers but fair margins).
There are a lot of requests here, and I kind've worry that it will get to spread out, rather than just being really good at what it does now.
