I’d love to have ventured into that with mine. Turns out the very first gen I got didn’t have the SD card internally yet but soldered memory, so I can’t do some fancy stuff with it.
On the other hand, the thing still runs and that’s like, most of what matters.
The old thing still got firmware updates from time to time, gotta say that is rather impressive.
I can also swap the battery once it decides to die, which is nice.
Bummed to hear they cracked down on the mod scene there, thought that was awesome.
I’m bookmarking your comment so I know what to look for if my kobo ever dies. Not getting any locked down bs for sure.
