Hallo,
forgive me when I did not all find myself yet. but as the kindle-world seem A LOT bigger than Kobo - I am lost :-(

I used the Kobo to show data of my homeautomation on an hourly basis.
in between I am using rtcwake to sleep the reader to save battery. the kobo runs for >1 month with a single charge.

As the kobo is not on sale anymore, I think about the 6" wifi e-ink kindle with some questions.

- does it have a working rtcwake command with standard sh-console?
- can I fully disable the kindle-frontend to only show a simple png/picture

my process now is:

boot kobo
kill stock frontend
load picture from local NAS
sleep kobo for 3600s
after wakeup proceed with 3.)
