Writing software for E-Book Reader Devices [closed]

Question

Can you please recommend any E-Book Reader which can execute a third-party software, so that anybody can create software for such device?

Answer 1

Well there's two I know of:

• The OpenInkPot Linux distribution for e-reader devices, which works on a few e-ink readers (and should be ported to more as time goes on). You shouldn't have much trouble writing third party software for that;
• The iRex DR1000. Take a look at this forum thread where someone has created a VMware image for doing development targetted at this e-reader.

Answer 2

The Nook from Barnes and Noble has its system software installed on a removable 2GB micro SD card. Since it runs Android, it should be easy to develop your own software for it.

Answer 3

There's web based e-paper development platform thats offered by Visionect. The devices are nice looking yet rugged and waterproof 6" e-paper tablets and the development documentation is fully available (see docs.visionect.com).
