The EBW1150 can receive tabbed info in the form of a booklist without getting an actual .imp ebook. The EBW1150 then can choose one of the listed ebooks and have it transferred in. Do you know what I mean?

The best way to make the guide is to automate the process. You click on a link, a script runs and you are offered a file to download. This is how the Mobipocket Download Guide is set up. And in order to execute the script we would first need the command line tool.
BTW, the Mobi Download Guide is still under 2MB, so the new guide has no worries about size problems.

I think it will have to be handled a bit differently, since the EBW1150 cannot connect to the internet
without the Linreb (proxy server) program running in the background. The EBW1150 will have to go through the Linreb program to get the .imp.
I was thinking that Alex could prepare a html listing that could be displayed on the EBW1150 with Linreb and then have the Linreb program intercept the requested .imp ebook, download it "on the fly" and present it back to the EBW1150 by "serving up" the .imp in the local directory. This would be a two-step process. GEBLibrarian does something similar when it allows Categories to be changed by the EBW1150.
If the .imp ebook is the 'IMP Download Guide', then it would be Huge and require the hardware reader to "do the surfing". That's just not possible (I think) and therefore differs slightly to your 'Mobipocket Download Guide' implementation.
Do you see it working better differently? Any insights would be appreciated. Call it brainstorming across reader platforms! Mind you, you almost cover them all, by yourself...
