Ok, I think I found some info here indicating it's in libnickel.so.1.0.0:

But then according to this post, it looks like you can just highlight a word and search it in a browser, in which case, the browser is fully operational? Do I understand that right?

Thanks. If we were to go the route of blocking MAC address from the router, instead of sideloading, I guess I could download books/audiobooks on some other wifi, like the local library.

Speaking of library, how does Overdrive work exactly in this scenario? Do you just need WiFi to download the ebook to the device when you initially borrow it and then the books disappears once the lending period is over? (which would be fine).
Or do you need an active WiFi connection whenever you read the book is checked out? (which wouldn't really be workable for this case)
