Couple of questions:

First, if I absolutely HAVE to go the route of hardware modification, is there a reference anywhere as to how to open the case? Before I break out my crow bar and acetylene torch? ;^)

I'm surmising that since it has identical buttons on the right and left, they're simply wired in parallel, and adding another set, via, say, a mini stereo jack, would be feasible, though I won't know for sure until I open it up.

Preferably, however, I'm wondering if supplying +5v to either the D+ or D- connection of the USB connector might be a possibility, providing I can find a way to capture those events, and a way to access the API (presumably) for paging forward or backward. Or am I totally off base here? Is there any documentation out there that would support such an effort?

I actually applied to Amazon's beta developer program, but I have no idea what their criteria might be, or how long it will take them to respond.

Thanks again,

Joe
