JSWolf,

Support? Sure, all the readers can interface with Windows systems. But what's the point of having an eInk reader if you *MUST* be tied into it, either via cable, Bluetooth or WiFi, in order to open and read the LIT ebook? Because you'd have to turn your eInk reader into a wired/wireless 'dumb terminal' in order to do so. Get this straight, *opening* a LIT ebook requires the use of litgen.dll. Litgen won't *run* under Linux.

Sure, we could all learn how to run ConvertLit on our primary systems and then take the resultant output over to our eInk readers but the *VAST MAJORITY* of ebook users aren't going to want to do that.

Name me one reader that has never had Windows support?
