JSWolf,
Quick, tell me how many eInk-based ebook readers out there run under Windows. What's that? I can't quite hear you... That's right, none, zilch, nada, zero. Sure, there are far more PalmOS and WinMobile devices out there than there are Linux handhelds - maybe. But when it comes to eInk, Linux currently reigns supreme.
And supporting BBeB (LRF) is going to be almost as tough as LIT because it also is a proprietary format. I believe, but I don't know for sure, that it doesn't require Windows-specific DLLs, but do you really believe Sony will *want* to license the LRF format to its competitors?

But with the formats you can support on Linux, there is no need to pick on the formats you cannot. It's not Microsoft's fault you went with a lesser supported OS.
