If people are still interested, I am very close to having a kernel module that would allow plugging and unplugging a USB Keyboard, so you don't have to restart the kindle-evdev program when you unplug.

I am now trying to decide if it is worth making it work like a real keyboard - report that it has certain keys, and caps lock, etc. so that it can work with all the evtest and association programs, so things like Xorg can check if its a keyboard or mouse automatically.

Or if I should keep it more like /dev/input/mice, where it just gives you the input.

The second form would let it work with any programs we write, including the existing kindel-evdev from lucida. I need to test that form and see if I manually specify it as a keyboard if it will work in xorg, instead of trying to use the auto stuff.
