I can't wait to get a Kobo... but my 10 year old Kindle Paperwhite refuses to die (I just transfer books to it via USB, it's not been in contact with Amazon for years). I did put an OS on the paperwhite allowing for white text on a black screen and it allowed epubs but it was a bit crashy and needed to be rebooted every now and then and a Kindle reboot takes several minutes. Definitely a Kobo next though...
This is very interesting. Do you have information on the minimum specs for the os?
There is no minimum spec. It runs on a kobo mini 800 mhz 1 core cpu and 256MB of ram and lags a bit. On a kobo nia which has 1 Ghz 1 core 256 MB ram it's fine
As I stated in the FAQ, even more performance could be traded for disk size, with a bigger sd card
Oh, is this your project? Congratulations for the initiative. It looks awesome.
I'm not the creator but the only other person that contributes in a major way. "Second developer" as I like to call it
