       Is there any such thing as a libre e-reader? Looking for a #Kindle alternative.

       @rgggn older Kobo's have some alternate completely libre firmwares floating around on github. (sans wifi firmware blobs) Their not entirely feature complete, but good enough for simple eReading.

       @trashHeapThis is what I have figured out as well. I picked up a cheap used Kobo Aura to attempt installing the Foss firmware replacement https://github.com/lgeek/okreaderIt is all open source except for the eink driver code.@rgggn

       @rgggn Nope, which is why I think @Purism should seriously consider making one.
