Someone should tell Bookeen that Mobipocket is JAVA based - of course I wasn't expecting that someone do an EXACT port of Iliad's version, just *some* port of Mobipocket functionality. And as others have pointed out, there's no reason one *needs* a mouse or TS-screen, just make the jogwheel/compass function in its place. After all, it 'could' be read as 'move cursor right/left/up/down'... Something to think about.

The iLiad Mobipocket Reader would be even harder, because it's Java-based, and the Reader doesn't have a JVM.
