@cscat: Are sopdf features complete enough for your purpose(s)?

@cscat: How small is "small"? This doesn't not look very "big" to me.

The posted code is GPLv3 - that should be suitable here.
The posted code is posted as a VC++ project - but;
the components appear to all be from the open source world (non-windows sources) ported to Win32 - so the format of the release as a project file should not be a show stopper. The original non-windows sources could be used.
The posted project only supports the Win32 platform -
Sometimes indicating that a major effort would be required to support a Linux platform (such as Kindle).
Here, the amount of the work in porting to the *nix platform should be reduced by the fact that the dependences are originally non-windows sources.
In addition, this is a command line tool - no Win32 GUI to be ported.
The limitations of the application are better described in the original M.R. thread than in the home page summary.
The only one that I see which might be limiting is the reformatting of comic books (which may have been fixed in the repository version).
I didn't notice any mention of text "re-flow" (this thread's topic) but I did not read the sources in detail.
My own "first guess": Could be ported to Linux/ARM
My first suggestion: Move this discussion to its own thread topic.
