Funny coincidence, I'm developing okreader (https://github.com/lgeek/okreader https://github.com/lgeek/okreader), which is a package of u-boot, deblobbified downstream kernel images, Debian and KOReader (https://github.com/koreader/koreader https://github.com/koreader/koreader) for a range of Kobo devices. I've been working with upstream KOReader developers to get the features required to use KOReader without the Kobo firmware. okreader replaces the whole software stack on the device.
- yarrel 9y agoThat's awesome! I'm going to try it on my Touch.
- chme 9y agoCool. Will try it out. I can also recommend the Pocketbook Touch Lux 3 for hacking. Changeable buildin microsd card, Allwinner A13 Soc and pins for serial connection. Only problem with it is touch and display controller. AFAIK they don't work with the mainline kernel. Oh and what I didn't like about the Kobo reader software is their library and that they always want everything to index first. With the default Pocketbook firmware you can browse directory structures, so much superior if you have a very big library on it.
- houqp 9y agoKOReader runs on many pocketbook models too ;) Although I am not 100% sure if it works for Lux 3 specifically since I don't have this model to test it myself.
- chme 9y agoYeah, I should try KOReader on it at some point. Should work. Problem is just Pocketbook has own proprietary modules to load the touchscreen and display drivers, but that is just kernel space. I am not sure if that is even GPL compliant.
