Better yet, I kinda have a working hack which converted a secure ebook to HTML using a hacked iLiad reader (you can actually intercept the Palm records (4K in size) and write them out as they are decoded...).

Maybe I will make it more usefull and/or without the need for actually opening a window, but for me it did what I wanted: it's definately possible...

If there's a need or interest I might publish a future version of it, and I can easily do that since I'm in the Netherlands

Do you think this will work on a Windows machine? I would be great to be able to always keep the same PID and also to be able to drop off the DRM as well.
