I totally agree with a UI revamp, something to make it a little more streamlined and add a feature or two, as listed here. We should be able to remove books as we finish them and organize books into categories, or sort by genre, etc.
As to Sony ever giving the kind of access personal devs would like, I doubt that will ever happen. Look at how they keep trying to close the door with the PSP, there's been an update almost monthly since the beginning of the year and most users are thinking they're getting something cool, but all it does is try to patch security to keep hackers/homebrewers out. Fortunately for us, their security is so broken that a custom f/w is released within a day or two that adds any functionality they might have thought to add while still enabling custom apps to run.
Ahh, the ol' text-based adventure games... I remember you fondly. One type that could be implemented right now are the old choose-your-own-adventure type. There were quite a few in this genre, though mainly for kids, but I so enjoyed them as a teenager. This would be quite easy now using the link feature built-in to the Reader... now it's just a matter of getting the print material into the proper format, I wonder if there are any HTML versions legally available that can be converted. Nice trip down memory lane.
