Device: TWO Kindle 2s, one each Bookeen Cybook Gen3, Sony PRS-500, Axim X51V
I'm sure the Bookeen people are looking at incorporating the FB2 format into the list of supported ebooks. And I suppose one could wipe out the current reader software and create a version of FBReader for it. I'd say that it would probably require porting Nano-X and Nano-GTK over to the Bookeen device - not impossible as these are *very* small footprint - and then compiling a version of FBReader under these libraries. One thing you have to remember is that there's no touchscreen or keyboard/mouse on the device, so every function would have to be accessed using the Compass, the volume control buttons and the four function buttons on the left edge. Not impossible, but one factor for the port.

I'm not talking about fb2 format (which is fbreader's own brand of xml) but the software itself.

Could an external developer come up with a firmware hack to do that. Or would you basically have to eliminate the cybook software on the device to accomplish that?
