Does anybody know (including KOBO developers) if there is a way to open an html document in Kobo Touch web browser from the local storage? The URL should be something like file://myfile.htm

Opening the html document in the browser rather than in the regular reader program would open Kobo Touch for simple “app development” using JavaScript. It looks like the built in browser supports JavaScript to a certain degree (or maybe it is fully compliant).

Also, for this purpose running the browser without a WI-FI connection (i.e. Airplane Mode) would extend the battery life.

Thanks,
