Again, great tutorial! I just checked it and got it running!

Some remarks:
1)
To create the symbolik link to monitor.patched.app I used at first absolute paths (/media/sdb8/monitor.patched.app), which resulted in bootloop [I know this was a stupid mistake]. Later I used this command:
cd /media/sdb8
ln -s monitor.patched.app pocketbook
and everything worked well, even the resizing.

2)
Extracting the monitor.app can be done via mounting and copying it to the fat32 partition:
mkdir /tmp/image
mount -t cramfs -o loop /media/sdb8/cramfs.img /tmp/image
cp /tmp/image/bin/monitor.app /media/sdb1/
umount /tmp/image

3)
I found dd for copying the content of the SD really slow, doing this under Windows with USB Image Tool from Alexander Beug was much quicker.
