Got me a Bebook (Hanlin v4) recently , at 300 euro still insanely expensive for an electronic text reader, but it has a nice sober design, epaper reads quite nice, runs on a hanlin linux rom, and also on the open source ebook distro openinkpot.

Now why didn't I know about Openinkpot? I do believe you just gave me another topic I'm going to have to investigate and write about...

As OpenInkpot leader I'll be glad to answer any questions about it, better on #openinkpot IRC channel.

Any plans for a new release any time soon? I admit to a bias, but projects
that haven't had a release in four months make me nervous :) (Good to see
some activity in the git tree, though.)

Well, right. The whole team was hired to port & further develop OpenInkpot for a new device (resulting firmware will be free software, of course), so everyone is quite busy with the upcoming release.

The only reason of not releasing snapshots for V3 is remaining minor glitches which need to be corrected (e.g. several menus don't have key available and can't be opened hence), so I hope to spare some time to fix them.
