This definitely looks to be a killer app for the iLiad. Very cool indeed.

Something to keep in mind, the fonts may not look exactly the same from the Desktop GTK version as on the Iliad. The iLiad's gtk version is configured to force text in a larger font size, although I don't have the exact numbers.

Also, when you will need to input text, the software keyboard will block around 1/4 of the bottom of the screen. You may want to keep this in mind when designing screens that require text input.

Edit again: With the latest firmware version (2.10), you can modify the path of the News and Books buttons. This path is stored in /mnt/settings/er_registry.txt. It may make more sense to read the configured path from there, and adjust where your program saves the files accordingly.
