Port to Pocketbook #3

Can it work on a Pocketbook as well? It does have a MicroUSB port and Linux support.

I am not sure. FBINK will work on pocketbook so that's a plus, however I don't know if USB OTG is supported out the box - or with a custom module / kernel. This is crucial for this particular setup that works without a webserver. If you find anything online about it i'll be glad to know.

Hi, I was thinking about an application like this for the Pocketbook for some time. I just started and it seems that you can connect an bluetooth keyboard to it and then use the keyboard in apps that access it by the /dev/input interface. I created an proof of concept (https://github.com/JuanJakobo/Pocketbook-Texteditor). The texteditor is still somehow limited, but I plan to slowly integrate more feature.

@JuanJakobo great work. I'm going to test it soon and report in your repo.
