Thanks for the links X!
It has a bult in library, although most of my books are organized in folders already, so even simple file system acces would be good enough.

However you are aware that the Kindle is running a full Linux version, it's Ubuntu 9.04 port to ARM. You don't need to build an abstraction layer.

I've never used FBreader. Is this program capable of managing a filesystem, (i.e. books) within the program? If so I would modify the initialization scripts to automatically launch FBreader. Set it to respawn in case the user closes the FBreader or it crashes the FBreader will restart.


Also the "QT experience" is a good place to start.

What I would like to see is a way to toggle between FBReader and Amazon's existing GUI. This way we get the best of both worlds, I know you don't care much for the Amazon skin, but some features are essential like reading DRM Mobi books.

Hello,
I'm very interested to this option, as i've preordered the kindle 3 and i have a pretty large library of fb2..
This could avoid me a hard work of conversion :-)
moreover fb2 is one of my favourite formats so far..

Best regards

Relax, the Java conversion of the FBReader might run without problems. I'm still waiting for my kindle so I could take a look how to implement the FBReader.
