With regard to malware fearmongering - if I developed some malware, wouldn't I better off selling it to the criminals/NSA/GCHQ/... rather than infecting few random bookworms? The link to my other website, which is in a more mature state thanks to input from a photo enthusiasts community, was intended to give you more overview of what the Kobo firmware check website could eventually become. But if you feel that this is an unfair promotion (the other site is not-for-profit as well), let it be.
Do you mean the developement of your page or the developement of Kobo firmware ?
There is already a feature request thread for Kobo's firmware https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=105210 and there is a fantastic gathering project here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=217160

What I mented with the malware things is,that someone could be not such a nice person and develope something on pages,pointing to that pages from here.
I don't say you do,but there is really a wide variety of "Kobo" pages, not controlled by anyone where people "offer" patches, links and other things that are developed here,but are taken out of control of the developers by moving to private pages.
And they can have malware.. in fact I visited some that where just infect you only by visiting it..
