Unlikely. Irex has stated that there is a hardware bug preventing this. It's possible that someone will come up with a clever work-around that the folks at Irex didn't think of, but...
As more my 2 cents on the roadmap (as a non-developer), this sounds great. The one other thing that might be worth adding is collaboration with the Open Inkpot project. Open Inkpot is also linux based (although I belive they use kernel 2.6), open-source, and aimed at e-ink readers, so there should be quite a bit of overlap. They have expressed an interest in creating an Iliad port, but I don't think anyone is currently working on it. Even if a full merger isn't feasible, we should at least be able to share improvements to FBReader. They also have their own content lister (Madshelf), which might be a suitable replacement for the current one (if the system functions are split into a seperate daemon).
