okreader
Free/libre firmware for Kobo ebook readers. No proprietary software (except firmware for the WiFi adapter), no spyware and no DRM. Based on koreader and Debian.
Supported hardware
Tested on:
- Kobo Touch
- Kobo Aura
okreader is also expected to work on Kobo Glo out of the box.
There seem to be multiple hardware revisions with different WiFi adapters. The firmware-okreader package only provides the required firmware for the adapters in the devices I've tested.
Usage
Note: The build system is intended to run on Debian or Ubuntu, on ARM. Cross-building should also be possible with little effort, but it's not implemented. If you don't have access to an ARM system, you could try using QEMU.
