Definitly going in the right direction. Oh had to tinker with the port settings, 8118 is blocked for me and I didn't take to the time to dig around in the iptables to open it up, don't even know for sure where ubuntu keeps those files. Other than that looks like it works.

The communications go something like this:
For connecting to proxy server and local content:
Code:
internet <--> Privoxy listens on port 8118 --> Privoxy forward's *.ebooksystem.net to port 9090 --> Linreb listening/responds on port 9090 --> Privoxy responds on port 8118 <--> EBW1150's port 8118
or
For surfing the internet:
Code:
internet <--> Privoxy listening/responds on port 8118 --> EBW1150's port 8118
Please note that the only reason to have Linreb is to initally "serve up" the local html (content) that has weblinks. Afterwards, it is no longer required to be able to 'surf the internet'!
