Thumbs up

Tried this out yesterday, works perfectly! Thanks a lot!

The next steps:
I see 2 options now:
  • Building a Wifi client, probably based on an ESP8266 Wifi module.
    [+] cableless
    [-] would need to disable Wifi suspension on the Kobo. Haven't got any idea yet how this is done.
    [-] probably a battery drain
  • Building an USB client
    [+] no WIFI needed, no battery drain
    [-] cable
    [-] still have to find out how to enable USB-network support on the new 3.19.5761 firmware release

I will not have that much time in the near future, so some time to contemplate..
Suggestions and ideas welcome!
