broken DRM reader vs. a flexible mini computer
I just want to test the new OLPC, its a great idea on good hardware (read: 200dpi display - (see the OLPC hardware specs))
You can write software for it - its open. Its flexible (its not only a ebook reader) - and its not “crippled” with DRM stuff. A sony special, btw, see the early one-way “usb-minidisc-player” - this was my Miss PRS until I tried to download an interview to my computer. On an OLPC, i can read a pdf and I have a small real computer for checking stuff and making notes. (An maybe also for recording)
Or wait for the apple subnotebook-tablet if you don’t like the green color :) pdftoppm could also be a solution for broken readers, if they have a picture viewer on board.
Cheers, DA
