My paperwhite is pretty dated and I was thinking of jumping ship.My Kobo mini had weird online activation requirement, and there's a bunch of gamification that makes no sense.Yes especialy kobo mini is fun device. But I think there was a problem that it always froze after some time. So much to do and so little time ;)Could you clarify exactly what you mean by "EPDC firmware"?afaik, it is already published so what needs to be "liberated"?The devices you're talking about, eg: on your github, are the i.mx series of SoCs have an on-chip EPDC which is open source (the datasheets show all the registers) and the driver is also GPL. With over 5 million eBooks and audiobooks to choose from, there’s something for every type of reader and listener. Anyone know if they're open to UX contributions?This seemed to be a common theme whenever I looked at contributing to calibre.The reason was that Kobo has a sliding power button that allows you to turn it on/off.

Last update was one year ago and it's got only 1 contributor.At least in my experience, most of the e-reader hacking going on is over at the mobileread.com forums, in the "Developers Corner" subforums. The Aura One is a really nice device, and you don't realize how small and uncomfortable the Kindle Voyage is until you use a big device with a textured back. Press alt + / to open this menu. I'd have to create a throwaway.Ha, that's nothing. :) I would be very surprised if there isn't someone who considered reading your work but didn't because it wasn't available online for free.In fact, if your comment contained a direct link to a free copy of your work, someone from HN would already have looked.It would also be offtopic anywhere but a Show HN thread, and even then seems iffy. Give Mom the me time she deserves. That .fw file is a plain voltage waveform file that defines voltage vs time waveforms to get pixels to appropriate graylevels. or. They > Offering free downloads wouldn't even be a waste of bandwidth, really--just a waste of server disk spaceSuch a post would definitively link a pseudonym username to a real name. That's another best-in-class renderer designed to be used in other software but it seems like it's almost always overlooked.On a side note, It's always been a faraway dream of mine to do a Kickstarter-like project to fund a completely open and libre eink ebook reader. But after a month I sold the Kobo and got a new Kindle.They use Google Analytics to monitor your usage for one thing.Missing directory browser and forcing to use their library.There is an additional side effect of the missing directory browser: every sync cycle results in it rebuilding its (apparently sql-lite) DB. Threw the Kobo out some time ago.Hum, but this project seems dead. Right now, we are using coolreader's awesome engine for epubs.I tried KOReader on my Kobo Glo some time ago. That .fw file is a plain voltage waveform file that defines voltage vs time waveforms to get pixels to appropriate graylevels. Will try it out. You are currently viewing our boards as a guest which gives you limited access to view most discussions and access our other features. More expensive panels contain the waveform in a flash on the panel which can be read by the host. ie: just use hexdump -C.I meant the waveform data at offset 0x700000 on the internal storage of the Kobo devices (which is similar but not the same as the .fw files in firmware/imx/). Changeable buildin microsd card, Allwinner A13 Soc and pins for serial connection. I've been working with upstream KOReader developers to get the features required to use KOReader without the Kobo firmware.

I really dislike this practice from Amazon. This may be a minor difference, but Kindles don't give you that choice and I prefer Kindle's simplicity, which allows you not to care about how your decission between off/sleep would affect the charge. This is different that putting it to sleep. Found this out when my daughter could no longer buy the new books in a series she was reading. Large community of paragliding pilots are using it as flight computer by adding GPS and pressure sensor. okreader replaces the whole software stack on the device. There is no CPU inside the EPDC. There is no CPU inside the EPDC.

It's not clear whether distribution is allowed.Waveform data is unique to each batch of panels and there are also tuning parameters for each batch of power management circuitry in a board. "Liberating" that would be akin to "liberating" the content of a .wav file. But, I have zero hardware experience and honestly I don't know if it'd be a venture that could be made profitable or not. In order to save battery, I often turned it off instead of leaving in sleep mode. It blow's Kindle's rendering capabilities out of the water.

I will definitely reach out to you through emails. Log In.

The author confirm the reason (and actually sent the new book epub for free).I figured that I could still sell on Kobo via Smashwords, so didn't give it much thought.In the end, my book is now exclusive to Amazon KDP for one, and only one, reason:I didn't force my readers to do anything.

But that has caused some problem because end user accidentally flashes wrong firmware with a waveform that doesn't match the panel and bam, the panel quality is degraded, maybe even permanently.I can also recommend the Pocketbook Touch Lux 3 for hacking.
