I know it's not terribly expensive to buy a replacement Mini, but it was mostly an impulse buy and I can't really justify another £60 for a new one, especially when what I really want is a Mini with a glow light.

As a Linux user of 10 years I'm fairly familiar with the ins and outs of Linux, so I shouldn't have trouble modifying the system files, so what I want to know if there is any way to make my Kobo Mini think the screen is smaller than it really is so it doesn't use the broken part, the damage is 15mm of the width on the right side of the screen, so if I can get it to ignore that, at least in the book reader, it would make it usable again until Kobo brings out a Mini with the built-in light.

So if anybody knows how to do this or even have any idea of where to start poking around to achieve this I'd love to hear it.

Or alternatively I might consider replacing the screen if I can get a replacement screen for less than £40 shipped, but I couldn't find any when I looked.
