It’s a free software firmware replacement for ereaders based on Alpine Linux.

I’ve not tried it myself but wonder how it compares to the stock firmware on Kobo, particularly in terms of battery life and general performance.

      If anybody is curious on why the screen is flashing like that, E-readers are basically etch-a-sketches and it must shake (or in this case apply a charge to the particles) to remove the previously drawn frame. Then, the next frame can be drawn.

      Probably easier to play Doom on a kobo than an oscilloscope!

      I just ordered myself a Kobo Libra 2, was hoping to run Inkbox on it but I see it’s not supported yet. I’ll just have to wait!
