On Monday I will place here the Link to the previous version of Firmware, so you can restore the old version.. |
I will try later on or so with the reinstall. And thanks in advance for the firmware link :-).

That is a good question indeed - maybe I will my thoughts together on some form of requirements page. I guess its less new features that are missing - the good ones are just spread on two devices, and should be combined into one. E.g. the new zoom functionality of the m92 is great, and so is the listing of annotations on the 903. I really would like to have both. And so on and so on....

What are the way to port something ? Do you need an emulator, and IDE and so on?
I guess the main question is if there is an alternative among these packages that would replace or supplement the PDF reading function of this ereader.

Further above in the thread
lunohod answered the question about open sourceness - I am following his answer there.
On kernel etc. I am probably the wrong person to ask. I am just playing around here. Having said that, I used lonetechs qemu image to compile my
python for 903/m92. It seems that the binaries run easily on both. "Of course" this is only for command line scripts - from what I understand the screen drivers are incompatible.
Hence I thought about maybe building (or porting) a web based pdfviewer. The idea is to have a local python based webserver that parses the pdf, generates an image and serves that out to the browser. One could probably add little functions like zoom and embolden. But I don't see an easy way for annotations (I would guess that the pan by pen on the m92 would interfere with scribbling).
Just my 2 cents.
