Hello,

I'm quite new to PRS-505 (only have one for 2 weeks), and I'm already looking at how to hack it.
It seems, from what I have seen, that it is possible to run shell scripts from the SDCard.
As far as this is possible, I think it should be possible to run any compiled program. What would make this impossible ?

If this is ok, then, it could be good to try to write or port a PDF reader with more zoom options to the PRS-505.

Thanks to let me know the current limitations to do this.
