This is one of the resons I'm not very interested in the NAEB project.

FBReader can map keys to tasks, but this is customized via the setting menu and in general I don't think it is possible to work mouse/stylus free.
On the other hand, if a device like the STAReBOOK has X11 (or, say, GTK+ without X11), then it needs some replacement for the mouse. So, assistive technology should be at the GTK+ level.
It is interesting that cell phones, PDA's, UMPC's all have screen navigatation based interfaces, but dedicated e-book readers do not. This might just be an anomaly of a new display technology, but it might also be a function of single application devices. On the other hand, the eBookWise eb-1150 has a touch screen.
