The disabled usb is certainly a bummer. I wonder how they disabled it though – is there a hardware difference?
Locking and preventing flashing of firmware only happened in China.

Is there a ebook format that isn't just build arround the concept of a webbrowser?
A format that only supported
- headings
- paragraphs
- emphasis (bold/italics)
- bullets
- inline images
is good enough. A simple container with a TOC pointing to text blocks/files within it that can be processed very cheaply.
Unfortunately, with something like epub, you lose all the simplicity because you want to support every single feature even if rarely used.
