Who said anything about it not being in the development plans? My goal is to support every device that has a subforum here. iLiad support is going to come eventually but it's going to be a bit for a few reasons. No one working on Calibre owns an iLiad. This makes it the information gathering and testing process longer. It's a bit more complicated to add support than the Kindle and Cybook. This is due to the manifest xml. I haven't done very much research yet into other things that need to be handled. Also, right now Calibre is going though some major re-factoring. Meaning I don't want to take the time to add support for a new device right now because when the re-factoring is finished I will have to port the code the new system. I haven't been following the re-factoring much so I don't know how much work this will entail. Even if it is minimal I would rather code to the new interface than code and have to recode. Until the re-factoring is done I would rather spend my time completing other things on my todo list.
