I have tested the plugin for a few more days on my reader and haven't encountered any problems. I'd like to make a 0.2.0 update with a new installation method (no more schema overwriting) and that doesn't require removal of mobipocket support, but I need to know a few things for that. I hope someone (from irex?) can answer them:

- Is the fix I found for UDS 'correct' (see previous post, it's about uds in firmware version 1.7.1)? Or is there a better way to make it work?
- I noticed that the virtual machine does not load the content browser when uds is removed. If something goes wrong overwriting uds or other system files, is there still a way for end users to recover their firmware, without sending in the device?

after the basics are in place, the plugin could be improved/extended:
- support for table of contents, hyperlinks, text search
- better image rendering (libdjvulibre does a very simple bilinear resample to rescale the high resolution bitonal (black/white) images to a relatively low resolution screen size grayscale image, which makes the images slighly blurry. this could be improved, but obviously shouldn't take too much time. does anyone know a suitable algorithm that preserve edge sharpness but don't destroy readability of small characters?)

any other requests/suggestions?
