Cybook development stalled when our Cybook developer broke his Cybook (I believe). So in order to get Cybook development going again, you have two options:
#1: Find us willing developers who have Cybooks (canvassing the Cybook forums might be a good start)
#2: Donate some money to OpenInkpot for Cybook purchase, and/or encourage others to do the same.
In other words, you can influence the state of development by your efforts and contributions towards the OpenInkpot project, which is not some profit-obsessed behemoth multinational company, but something very much of human scale. In other words, don't despair, do something!

I think I will donate ... but I thought that currently Jekhor is the only developer knowledgeable in Linux kernel specifics/low level programming - and isn't he working on Sony? If you had lots of Cybooks available now, would it speed up anything?
I don't despair, I just wanted to talk about the matter, as it interests me a lot. Perhaps I hoped someone would read it and think he has some free time and knowledge to help a bit in this area of OI... those kinds of thoughts. I just didn't want to leave it in silence.

I don't see how the scenario in which by the time developers have time/devices/will to port OI to yet another device, 64MB Cybooks become rare and thus it's decided to go with the 512MB version "first", as available to test on, and used by majority of users, can be a plain nonsense.
