I understand the processor is an Epson device.  What debugger is used 
with it?  Or is this just to reprogram the flash?  I have the impression 
that there is not much need to program the serial flash since nearly all 
the data and much code are on the SD card.

How are you going to use the debug port?  How are you going to use the 
WikiReader?

The spring loaded contact pads are typically used in manufacturing where 
you want to save the cost of the connector.  Is the spring loaded cable 
expensive?  Why not solder a standard connector?
