iLiad OS : eBook formats and viewers?
One of the goals for iLiad OS is to add support for viewing any non-DRMed ebook or document file on the iLiad.

The iLiad currently has pretty good PDF and mobipocket support, and FBReader will add support for a whole slew of other formats.

My question for you is in two parts:
  1. What file formats do you think the iLiad should be able to open?
  2. What open-source programs exist that handle those file formats?
The idea is to try to make a small list of programs that can open a long list of file formats, then port those programs to the iLiad for inclusion in a future OS version.

Any ideas?
