The Wizard is fully on to this. If Ectaco is so slow to give us some basic features that many people see as essential, they need to open up their source code so enthusiasts can do it for them. No one is going to STEAL anything from them because their software model is not all that capable or sophisticated to begin with. There are many capable people frequenting these forums that would gladly make significant improvements- just for the fun of it. And I would happily try someone else's tweaked firmware version if I could get the capability to have my device present a page that LOOKS like a book, which is supposed to be what it is emulating to begin with.

Besides, isn't the Jetbook a Linux device, and are they not REQUIRED by the Linux license agreement to open their code to the community?

Did you ever notice the name that keeps popping up when you want to talk to Ectaco customer service? Pavel. What is he, a one man development department? He must be awefully busy.
