kobopatch-config

Patch it, check it, quick – upgrade it

Hey fellow space cowboy. You're probably here because you want to remove all this ugly adware from your kobo and get a clean kobo experience ? Fear no more. This repository contains my configuration to tweak the kobo e-reader firmware to my liking. To update kobopatch, you can download the binaries here.

How to use

  1. Download a firmware here.
  2. Put the whole zip in src.
  3. Change the path in kobopatch.yaml.
  4. Run ./kobopatch.sh.
  5. Move the KoboRoot.tgz to the .kobo folder on your kobo and trigger the update.

Effects to investigate

  • When assigning affiliate=RakutenBooks in affiliate.conf you can manage to skip the affiliate logo on bootscreen and skip firmware upgrades.

Includes

On top of the firmware tweaks, the image also contains these mods:

  • NickelMenu which provides a customizable power user menu to the kobo, greatly ehancing the experience.
  • NickelClock to show clock and battery status while reading.
  • KoboTailscale which connects the kobo to my tailscale mesh network.
  • KoboSSH which adds dropbear on the device.
