First of all, I'm brand new to looking at this issue and I have done
nothing with Mozilla in the past, though I have been involved with the
internals of some other browsers some years ago. So please forgive my
ignorance and feel free to dispatch me to some other domain.

I'm wondering about the feasibility of using Mozilla on a e-book
reader Linux based device. I'm looking for any guidance I can get on
determining if this is a) feasible, 2) practical, 3) effort involved,
4) space requirement(s). I'd also like to get some guidance on which
documentation to read to understand the browser code organization.
I'd very much like to talk to anyone with experience in this area.

thanks,
emilio

I should have said I'm thinking of devices like the Kindle, and
subsequent generations of these devices. These represent an entirely
new class of mobile device. The have a data feed, but no voice. The
have relatively slow graphics, for at least several years appear to be
gray scale, albeit at much higher resolution and image size than
mobile phones. Are these devices suitable for the Mozilla/Mobile
project, or should they have their own category. thanks

This sounds like a question for .mobile.
Are you familiar with Nokia N800/N810?
Mozilla runs on those Linux based mobile devices.
