This looks fun. I got a Kobo. I wish it was opensource. It would be cool if some people were to team up with Fairphone and make a Fairbook project to make a light weight device with USB-C charging and long lasting battery life. There needs to be a bigger incentive if the firmware is ever going to get better. You could just use Linux as per usual tho.

That would be great!

I also have a Kobo, Calibre works great with it (Calibre is a life saver) but it would be nice to get something that is more open.
