The Kobo is supposedly trivial to hack: http://ccoffing.net/tech/embedded/kobo/ http://ccoffing.net/tech/embedded/kobo/
"Of the three major e-readers out today, Kobo rocks the hardest. Kobo supports the ePub standard, has released code as required by the GPL, and has made the life of the hacker surprisingly easy (not locked down, preinstalled nc and vi, git repos, support forums, ...)."
- pasbesoin 14y agoI have an older model I haven't hacked but started looking into a bit; I'd like to enable landscape display for ePub as the current renderer cuts off long lines in code samples, with no way to scroll horizontally. As I recall, with that model you can boot from your own OS image by placing it on the external SD card. You can also flash the internally stored OS, if you feel particularly confident. I haven't done it, so research for yourself, if you're interested.
