What I'd *like* to see, would be for someone, *ANYONE*, to develop a black-box Linux open-source replacement for the litgen.dll that is the core of the Microsoft Reader application - so that I could also read - without having to 'break it out' - any of my 'secure' .LIT ebooks on an eInk device. Anyone out there up to the task? NAEB would buy such an application.

As a big Baen fan myself (I've bought every "Webscription" since the service began) I completely support such sentiments.
