Update: eVrit e-book Reader

[Omer Zak]

It is my understanding that that someone must archive his own copy of
the relevant source files and make them available to people who use the
device.

One of the reasons is because the seller has no control over the
projects' official Websites, and in the future the versions available
from them may differ from the version actually used by the device (for
example, due to security fixes).
