Been working on the servers for the update and things are going pretty smoothly, hope we'll have everything up online this week.

One of the most interesting things to try once this feature is online will be to read a blook (blog+book), which is basically a serialized novel published on a blog. For the last 2 years, Lulu even created a Blooker Prize to award the best blooks. I'm not a huge fan of LCD screens for reading, but with an e-paper device on my hands, things are much different and I'll probably start reading a few blooks and hope that I'll find one that suits me pretty well.

I even found a directory listing some of these blooks: http://www.pagesunbound.com/

As a proof of concept, I've generated a Mobipocket file out of one of the blook listed on Pages Unbound, and embedded the file with this post. For an optimal result, those blooks should probably offer a feed in both normal and reverse order, and make sure that all of the parts are listed in the feed.
