I'm not too sure about dotreader myself. Just like the IDPF thing, I think the fate of dotreader will depend on how many books it can actually read. Since dotreader is pluggable, it could turn out to be a good allround reader...but time will tell.

I really hope Scotty1024 will manage to make some headway with his Kernel modifications...I'm not sure where iRex is heading, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't the way I was hoping for...making the Iliad more paperlike and user-friendly.

I'm actually starting to wonder whether it might be feasible to create a complete new OS that then makes us independent of iRex...like Rockbox for some PMP devices...
