There is one open issue: when directly controlling MPD via MPaD (iOS), I can open the booklet of the currently playing album on an iPad (MPad relies on an HTTP server for displaying cover art and booklets, I have an HTTP server running on the same machine that runs Minimserver, MPD and upmpdcli). On a Debian laptop, I can run a simple script to fetch the booklet of the currently playing item.

...

I am also using MPaD w/ MPD ... how are you opening a PDF (i.e. booklet) for the currently playing album? Are you browsing by folder?

Not necessarily. if you have setup MPaD correctly (in "Connections" advanced menu, section "LOCAL COVER ART") you just need to keep yout finget on an album for about one second: a pop-up menu will appear with the items:

Play this album now
Play this album next
Play only this album
Add this album to playlist
Show liner notes

Tapping "Show liner notes" will open the .pdf reader with the booklet, if this is made avaialble by your HTTP server.
