I am the developer of the Activities Read Etexts and View Slides. I got my XO by participating in the first Give One Get One program. I program it as a hobby.

I have thirty some odd years of programming professionally behind me, but I only learned Python to program the XO. I am most interested in making the XO acheive its full potential as an ebook reader, both for the classics of literature found at Project Gutenberg (including Sir Richard Burton's unexpurgated 1001 Nights, the complete English translation of the Mahabharata, and classic science fiction works of E.E. Smith, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Stanley G. Weinbaum and many others), and also for comic books, classic and otherwise.
