Question: How do I pass some information to the newly instantiated UI subclass?

I have not tried this, but a quick look at the javadoc suggests that by using BrowserWindowOpener#setParameter or BrowserWindowOpener#setUriFragment you can pass parameters into the UI.

E.g.

BrowserWindowOpener bookOpener = new BrowserWindowOpener( BookUI.class );
bookOpener.setParameter("startLetter", "A");

...

class BookUI {
  protected abstract void init(VaadinRequest request){
    String startLetter = request.getParameter("startLetter");
    // Etc
  }
}
