Pierre Neidhardt [2020-12-03 09:58:22+0100]: > I'm looking for an open ebook reader, at least something that runs free > software. I=E2=80=99m happy with my Kobo Glo. By default it has a pretty hackable Lin= ux install with a proprietary UI, but it=E2=80=99s possible to run koreader=C2= =B9 on it, and even compile the kernel & uboot yourself=C2=B2. It does need some firmware blobs for initializing the display, but other than that it can run with just free software (except for wi-fi). Unforunately the chipset is not supported in the mainstream kernel, so it=E2=80=99s limited to the ancient 2.6.something kernel released by Kobo, = which does not work with the newer glibcs. I did manage to get Alpine running on it with musl. Newer Kobo models are available and apparently just as hackable, so that might be worth checking out. =C2=B9 https://github.com/koreader/koreader =C2=B2 https://github.com/lgeek/okreader
