They don't want my money. This is how I see the situation.

It is OK, reflashing is OK, putting books into reader is OK. BTW I use you post as the source for destination directory on Reader, thank you.
I found out what I missed: deleting. I can not delete files from reader. It should be supported by ebookusb.dll but not ebook.py. Have to do investigations: go to an XP machine and try to delete books with sniffing dll enabled. Or maybe igorsk just knows it...
I found out as well what I got: system update. Once I disconnected from Connect client software and connect server I am guaranteed that my (custom-made) flashing will not be erased by system updates. I could be solved by proxy dll filtering out system updated not from owner.

True. Especially if you have to debug a converter...

The question is - should we trust people writing retail software "for XP only".
