My #kobo reader has got very slow. It's claiming that I'm using
27.6 GB of 32 GB of storage but I've only got 1GB of books on there.
Surely the firmware isn't that big?

trotzdem kein Grund, sich mit einem Kindle an Amazon zu binden. ( #fckbezos) #Calibre #Tolino #Kobo

@stefano I can borrow library books on my kobo using the Libby app. Hope your local library provides something similar #kobo

49 – 63 minutes estimated reading time?!

There are better places to read the latest anticipated article from @pluralistic than on my old, worn office chair.

Interoperability in 2025 sometimes pleasantly surprises me, and it turned out that #Kobo + @instapaper integration just, worked?

So now I simply click that button in the toolbar and the article arrives on my e-ink device. 📰⚡

Bonus tip; if you ARE reading on your work pc, try Reader Mode (F9).

The AI brand of #Enshitification has come for #Calibre.

Anyone started a fork yet?

Anyone got a workflow for decrypting #Kobo #ebooks without Calibre? #ebook #ereader

8/x I was wondering what the color epaper of my #ereader ( #kobo Libra Color) looks like in #microscope closeup. It's kinda interesting to see how the color and grey tones are two different layers and resolutions.

75x magnification.

Help!
Non vorrei cedere, però credo proprio che dovrò dotarmi di un #kobo o #kindle o simili.
Per quanto io sia un'assidua frequentatrice di biblioteche non sempre trovo quello che cerco o magari non in tempi utili e comprare tutti i libri che vorrei...

Qualcuno usa quelli o delle alternative? Come vi trovate?

Suggerimenti? Non di scaricarli su cellulare o pc perché ci ho già provato e non mi trovo!

Grazie!

Please could anyone with a #Kobo #Nia (#KoboNia) and/or #RightToRepair #RetroTech type folks point me in the direction of a valid image? Mine's borked amd I need #community #help! Thanks you ♥️

I know it's Amazon, and I know it's because there's a discount! However, it's really nice to have hit #1 in all three of the categories my wife chose to place "The Players Act 1" in. More importantly, she's knocked down the noted transphobe J.K.Rowling with a #LGBTQ positive, #NeuroDiverse #WorkingClass cast of characters.

#DRMFree and available on #Kobo as well, we're keeping the price to 99p/c until 17th Oct if you fancy joining the troupe!

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.

Hot take: Kobo should drop their proprietary Nickel UI and embrace KOReader.

Kobo’s main appeal is its support for ePubs you can sideload. If they embraced the openness of KOReader and made it a first class citizen while contributing to it, it would be an absolute killer of a product!

Enjoying the maximalism of two ereaders side by side with the book ”#DigitalMinimalism” on them.

Trying out a colour #Kobo after a long line of black-and-white Kindles and I’m quite torn so far.

Great book, incidentally.

Si vous avez une liseuse Kobo et vous vous voudriez l'améliorer ou la personnaliser, j'avais fait tout un article à ce sujet il y a 3 ans : https://oniricorpe.eu/log/tech/kobo-hacks-mods/
