@N means the function has N bytes of arguments (stdcall convention). The DLL I use (ebookUsb.dll) is actually a higher-level one. It uses lower level calls from prsctr.dll, which in turn speaks to the driver (PRSUSB.sys) and the driver actually talks to the Reader over USB. So, while I more or less know how to use the high-level interface, I don't know how it maps to the actual USB traffic. However, a person with a USB spy program can probably recover this information pretty easily and that could be useful to people with other OSes.
