Would that be a "show stopper" for you?

Even "porting" between ARM/Android to ARM/Linux as used on the Kindle is no small project.
The source code I am looking at is that listed in the page you linked to above:
https://github.com/geometer/FBReader...l-opds-scanner

That plug-in is written in Java, and the multi-format readers here are written in Lua.
Not a show stopper for the port of the functions provided, but a complete re-write of the plug-in code.

The Kindle experimental browser is WebKit based.
I don't know if Amazon disabled the "plug-in support" in their version of a web browser.
Even if they didn't, this would also be a code re-write.

Hence my questions about if the "feature set" is complete enough.

Another thought -
Check if the Midori browser supports an OPDS plug-in - -
http://midori-browser.org/
The work on that browser here is close to being generally workable.
