I vote for Zotero integration!

Very cool and definitely useful. I'm not the audience but I'll say: I like my ereader to just have books that sync. That is all. It's my library room and peace time, the last thing I need is Claude to distract me.

Wow. This is rad, well done. I've been trying to find an alt OS for my Clara Colour and this looks great. Being able to author apps means I can finally add a way to review my highlights/quotes and search them with ease.
Edit: damn, just saw the BW note. It looks like the Clara Colour would be blocked by Cobalt...

I see a recent merge for Elips 2E support, hopefully color gets tested soon

This is incredible and super useful. More reasons to use my e-reader around the house instead of my phone.

As a Kindle owner; I'm very jealous.

You can do a lot of the same things with a jailbroken Kindle and KindleForge.
I'm not. I want my Kindle to do ONE job well, not turn into another multi-purpose device.

I too would like my Kindle to do one single thing well. Sadly, we seem to be waiting for that future to arrive.

I remember when my PaperWhite glitched while I was attempting to jailbreak it and got stuck with the screen inverted. It was great! I can't believe I have to jailbreak a reader to get that simple functionality for better in-the-dark reading. (epilogue: I let it run out of battery and the inversion was gone upon boot)

You don't need to jailbreak it. Swipe from the top and press the big button labelled "dark mode".

Yeah, I was going to say. I only installed KOReader because my Kindle Touch has lackluster ereader functionality.

It is totally different to be able to do something versus actually doing it.
It is not because you can install and run apps that you have to.

the one job that it does well is show you ads lmao (in case you haven't jailbreaked your Kindle yet)
kelvinjps10 25 minutes ago [-]
Not to defend amazon but you can remove the ads by paying to remove them, they sell one model ad supported and another that doesn't have ads if you buy the ads supported you can remove it later.

Your Kindle is an appliance you have little control over, the Kobo in this scope is a multitool. More choice is better than less choice as it relates to device ownership and control, imho.
Amazing. Hopefully Kobo don't ruin this by locking it down.

Would this also work on a Tolino?

Vibecoded, from what I see in the git log.

Yes. Also from looking for device compatibility:
> Tested on one device: the Kobo Clara BW (N365, device code 391), firmware 4.45.23697. Every device write is gated on an exact match of framebuffer identity, geometry, device code, serial model prefix, firmware version and kernel release, so a different reader is refused rather than guessed at.
I can't stop reading "gated" on LLM output lately.
Anyways, I wish this worked on my Libra :<

I think so too. I wish all projects had a tag with amount of AI usage.
It's not that vibe coding is bad on its own, but it makes me worried about project's future (ease come, easy go).

Even the homepage copy is LLM output. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to point out.
> Charge a Kobo Clara BW (N365) and connect it over USB. Other models are refused, not guessed at.
Edit: damn, just saw the BW note. It looks like the Clara Colour would be blocked by Cobalt...
