One of the problems with getting bought by a huge company like Barnes and Noble is that procedures that use to be simple take longer. Fictionwise makes eReader and we are approved and they are going full speed ahead to finish the SDK in Linux for the EZ Reader and Mentor both.
Although we are "grandfathered in" we still have to get agreements dutifully signed and ratified and countersigned and such. Fictionwise now cannot just sign agreements... B&N has to also sign. So, we know all the agreements are vocally approved and will be upheld... but we are waiting for the paperwork to catch up.
Everything is still online for a Linux SDK of eReader in very early July. Then we can finish off the porting (we are working in stages as pieces of the eReader are done) so porting should go quickly when the SDK is ready.
This is to say that it is coming and soon we will have an upgrade on the new website to allow this. It is not really delayed at all... just crossing the "T's" and dotting the "i's".
