  I never said anything about Onyx, I don’t own one but have considered them. They look nice and open.

  I do own a couple of Kobo devices though and just wanted to say it’s not running Android of any kind. The firmware/OS point you’re trying to make is irrelevant there and I think you know it :)

  There is NickelMenu and you can telnet into it. You can also install other OS like KOReader easily, it doesn’t have a locked bootloader or anything like that. So imho that’s pretty accessible and open.

  We are talking about the Kobo right? It’s not running any kind of Android or AOSP fork.

  No it’s not running Android.

  Using Calibre you could probably glue that together. I wouldn’t want Android on an ereader personally.

  It’s not open source but it is easily rooted and you can install custom add-ons or even replace the os.
