I'm in the process of learning how feasible it is to install an Android system on a Kobo Glo. (I really miss not having Cool Reader on the Kobo, as on my hacked Sony T2). There are a few things I would really like to know:

1. Does the "Glo" still work on the hacked Android-ed Kobo Glo, including brightness adjustment? Or do you have to boot into the stock (non-Android) half of a dual-boot system to access the Glo-light?

2. Does the Kobo sleep cover still work on a hacked Android-ed Glo?

3. Are there reliability issues (lots of crashing) on the Android-ed Kobo Glo?
