Does this have anything to do with the webkit-based browser that IREX is working on? They contracted with Collabora to develop one and says the code from the project is available on the irex site. Presentation slides are interesting. Mentions rendering a flash frame and viewing wide pages with just page up/down.

In a recent DR800 video, access to the Barnes and Noble store is nothing more than a web browser view to BN's ebook mobile site. It would make sense for that browser to be related to their existing webkit effort.

Image from the programmer's site. Not sure if the browser really looks like that:

Little more info here, like why the browser will not be ported to the iliad:
