What's cuter tux or gnu? Maybe should've made it tux.

Code for how the custom animation was created. Thanks to the people who documented the process of setting up telnet etc and kobo devs for not locking down the device.

I've been looking for a way to emulate the server so when you press the sync button on the kobo touch it'll go to my custom perl server script and download ebooks from my computer rather than kobo. I don't know if I'll release the code on that since I don't want kobo to lock down the device.

Anyways I'm having mixed results so far lots of trial and error.
