I'd like to share some observations I made recently. First, I was astonished by the fact that author of orion viewer, who recently published very functional support for entourage edge, does not even seem to own the device -- his only device listed is nook. He was able to add support just from bits and pieces of information available on this forum.

Next, while clicking on links on the project page of Orion viewer, I stumbled upon this corner - Contributions, and specifically link to Donations at that page.

So it occurred to me that if like about 15 of us owners of edge would productively visit that page at like 10 dollars level, this developer might consider getting himself an actual piece of edge hardware, and thus will become much more intimately interested in creating better program for this platform.

I think mister kammerer already proved himself as very capable developer -- see this thread to find yourself what I mean. So, friends, if you follow my steps at the cited link, we might soon be treated to not just very competent, but basic reader. Just imagine all possible goodies that Orion viewer could acquire - like integration with dictionary, or with journal, I leave wilder fantasies to you.
