I've had this page[1] bookmarked for a while, but have never personally tried it. From what I understand, it could be a step above the usual method of installing KOReader, as I think it also replaces the nonfree "Nickel" software that's preloaded on the device. It seems like part of the build process for okreader is pulling in and compiling a kernel -- I wonder if that could be pointed to the identical linux-libre version. The lack of WiFi firmware wouldn't be an issue, since KOReader enables USB storage, but I'm not sure how the lack of "EPD controller firmware" would affect things. In the meantime, I enjoy reading books with nov.el in Emacs. :) -g [1]: https://github.com/lgeek/okreader -- Greg Farough // Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation Join the FSF and help us defend software freedom: https://my.fsf.org
