thanks a lot! I found a crosscompiler tutorial for the Reader here:
http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...?p=64904#64904

also a nice tutorial for framebuffer programming here:
http://web.archive.org/web/200512230...rent/x267.html

the framebuffer driver for the reader is very clearly written. frankly, i'm surprised sony even posted the sources. one great find is that eInk has built-in functionality to do auto-refresh. You just call a few ioctls, and now eink doesn't fade! This was really bothering me quite a bit.

OK, now... how do i capture input??

I've found this:
http://www.sven.de/librie/Librie/SoftWare

But the damn link is broken!
