It looks like that's what's going on here. The programs are running on the PC in the background; the pc is probably running some form of unix (linux, most likely), but I can't tell for sure (As I said, there may be a possibility that CygWin can do it).

Nifty, from a hacker point of view.. From a practical point of view, I guess I don't really see any. Feel free to correct me on that.

so you are assuming that xwindow is renning on the e-ing and that the reader has a tcp stack ?
so on other e-readers linux based such as the dr800 this should not been possible ?
