This is a HUGE step forward. I can't wait to get my Kindle so that I can join you in development efforts. A very nice effort, yifanlu.

Also, I wanted to mention that in an earlier post, I talked about a virtual SD card. What I meant was a storage space on the Kindle that is read from Web folders or FTP site. In this way, you don't need to use the local storage on the Kindle. You can save the books that you don't use often to the virtual storage space.

Bummer about the Java being obfuscated. What about writing a Java PDF viewer and installing on the Kindle. It would probably be easier to write a new PDF viewer than it is to modify the existing one.
