Hey. If you've got a #Kobo #ebookreader, I will appreciate if you could extract some information from your device. Currently, I'm contributing to #postmarketOS wiki. Since #onyxboox refuses to release the kernel source code for its devices, I am trying to gather information about different ebook readers with #eink panel. So if someone wanted to mainline a #boox device, they could use drivers from Kobo since they release the kernel source code.

I would really hate my #booxleaf to become useless, because onyx does not give updates anymore nor it releases the kernel source code so the community can provide an alternative OS or ROM. By doing so, not only onyx contributes to #ewaste. But also forces users to change devices like every 2-3 years. Even when the device is working good. Like me device. Needless to mention #GPLViolation here.

I will post about me plans, later, God willing. For now, I am optimistic about mainlining me device and also #BooxPage. Because both use Snapdragon which has good support in mainline, it's an ebook reader so you don't need to add support for modem and GPU, and the Carta 1200 screen used in these two devices are also used in other e-book readers such as Kobo.

BTW, boosts appreciated! If you haven't got a wiki account, you can ping me and I can add the information :)

Edit: Thank you so much. There are 40 boosts so far. I wanted to say if you got other ebook readers with eink which they release the kernel source code, feel free to add them to the wiki, too.

買了閱讀器一直買不到合用的包包
不太會帶出門,市面上現成的收納袋都沒有剛好的尺寸,或者不喜歡、需要運費⋯各種原因
當然也有賣家在訂做,家裡也有縫紉機,也會自己車縫布包,但沒有空餘的工作桌面可以打開縫紉機來用⋯

在文具店正巧看到零售的白色潛水布和薄薄的拉鍊袋,不如就動手縫了兩道線固定,內裏直接用強力的雙面膠黏上潛水布。

100元內搞定,施工時間十分鐘,
解決一個懸在心上的問題,雖不完美已經可以接受
 

#booxpage

After reading the review of the Onyx BOOX Poke3 by @KelsonV I had a look at the BOOX range and ordered the BOOX Page. Here it is, on the right, next to my Kobo Clara HD.

So far, it has been good. I've installed the Android versions of Libby, Pocket and, yes, Firefox and they work fine. I've adjusted the E Ink refresh rates and button settings for the apps to work correctly.

Now on to more reading. 🙂
