If yes does that mean that once the backup is modified/hacked it can be written to the kobo over
telnet?
Yes.

Quote:
Just in case: is there a cheaper or older device known to behave similarly to the H2O?
Yes. Kobo Glo also has an internal SDcard. In Holland you can get refurbished ones for 60€.

The extra advantage is that a _lot_ of work has already been done on the Touch and Glo for dual-booting and debian on kobo. Only some work has been done on the Aua HD (IIRC).

In a week I will get my mail-ordered 2-sided tape for mobile screens. Currently my H2O has no screws fixing the screen and PCB to the bottom case, nor have I used new glue or tape to fix the top to the screen and the bottom case. I have a small gap between the cases, no gap between the bezel and the screen. Still, it works beautifully for reading.

If I am able to reassemble my Aura H2O with no gaps between top and bottom case, I'll post a Howto. For now there are only some posts on how to disassemble the H2O
