The main reader application is "tinyhttp". Don't know why it's called that, but it seems it does have some http functionality. It is a thin wrapper around libtinyhttp.so, which is basically a Reader version of fsk.dll. It loads various "plugins" from the other .so and .xsb files. The process copies are spawned by the various event watchers, I beleive. USB api is handled by switcher.so, and the drivers are usbtg_core and usbtg_pd.

P.S. Not much progress so far... struggling with cramfs at the moment.
