Hi Igorsk,

I think that Krystian meant that no eBook reader is legal unless it will run its own Linux kernel compiled from the released GPL sources. Can you create and install a runnable kernel from the source that Sony provide? If not, I think that Krystian will regard it as illegal!

I'm aware of the OpenInkpot project - it will run on the Gen3, too. It looks like an extremely worthwhile project.
