Great point, Alan! Actually I think Pepper and OLPC do have some kind of a software-related connection, so your hunch could be fact in the near future if it isn't reality already. - David “FBReader’s Pepper Pad 3 version might work ‘as is’ on the OLPC machine, although so far as I know this has never been tried.” Great point, Alan!

Instead it has "viewers", which I interpret to mean page-centric rather than reflowable. The OpenDocument Viewer is the closest to an e-book reader, and since it will be based on web browser technology it may end up working something like dotReader.
