Hey, this look neat. I'm not familiar with kobos, are they good (compared to kindles)? Does this require some sort of jailbreaking or are they quite open by default?
In my experience they're more open than Kindles by default and there's no need for jailbreaking. I can read PDFs, project Gutenberg epubs, library books, sideload via Calibre and so on -- but maybe someone else has other needs that require a jailbreak? Not sure.
The hardware is good. I have a Libra Colour, which works great. Good screen, waterproof, nice hardware buttons to page-scroll one-handed, a good bezel to hold onto. No complaints from me about it.
You literally just change an URL in a config file. The config file is available by just connecting your Kobo by USB to your computer. Super simple and quite surprising.
