True, on most of the bolded items but on the file formats... not quite.
The list includes a few that are not working on the PB360. (MS Reader and lrf jump out.) Not saying anything now about feasibility or desirability...
... or maybe I *will* point out that the code for decoding LIT is out there and works wonderfully in Calibre for conversions. (Fast clean conversion to epub--no shock given that they're close kin.)
There may be *some* competitive value in supporting the "legacy" ebook formats (lit, docReader, lrf, eReader) since none of the "big names" (Kindle, Sony, and Nook) do, but it should be done well or not at all. Don't want to end up with a Hanlin scenario of half-hearted/flaky/neglected support.
But *if* it can be done at least as well as the MS DOC support, *then* it might sell a few thousand PB360s to those of us who've been doing ebooks since the last century. Not sure if its worth the effort but it sure would be nice...
Just planting the thought.
