I'm really sorry to say that I have betrayed the cause after excitedly hopping in full steam; I returned my InkPad 4. I was really looking forward to setting up a sort of suite for managing the ereader, consolidating and improving the usability of some tools (with the authors' approval and maybe even collaboration of course), and your software seemed a good place to start from. I was sure that the Inkpad 4 was going to be my new pal for years, even after realizing it was very slow with ancient hardware, and even despite the washed out display made worse by the anti-scratch/glare layer, but ultimately koreader's inability to wake the wifi connection made it too frustrating (it needs a live, as in not in standby, connection before you open the app).
At any rate I'll reply since you've taken the time; maybe someone with a compatible device will get inspired.

Nice. While C++ is/can get complex, it also has come a long way, and you can indeed work from existing work (do at first avoid older WIN32 API code  ).
Installing the compiler/buildchain may be the most cumbersome part, on Windows at least, and easiest on Linux. What platform do you use BTW?
It might also be doable to integrate, say, Python code. Only for Windows I suspect that will pull in a lot of additional libraries and cruft - might just disable it there (using a compilation ON/OFF flag). Might be worth a look. Let's keep in touch.

I'm on Linux and have environments set up for when I need to to some minor C++ stuff for work, so it wouldn't be an issue. Sorry for wasting your time (for now at least), but I hope the good faith excitement for your nicely made tool was worth something at least. If I get a compatible ereader (gonna try a boox first), I'll be back. Good luck!
