I'm around 90% finished with the synchack content sender, which I mentioned in my previous post, so maybe I'll post it on this weekend. If I have time, I may test it on the new firmware, again, if I have time to upgrade my H2O.
Also, I will maybe add a feature (server-side) to proxy the official releases, according to the device's request. Upgrading of course would eliminate the synchack.
Another idea would be to host the custom sync server on - for example - mobileread.com, if that is possible. I don't know if the admins would be willing to do this. This way it would be possible to create a send-by-email feature for Kobo.
The conversion should be made by the user (most simple version) to epub format.
I don't know where would be the best way to contact the admins.
I may contact Kobo with this idea, but I have very little expectations with them.
It would also be possible to use some "free" hosting site for this little project.
Another thing, the Bookstore "protocol" reverse engineering looks as easy as a piece of cake, according to what I saw when I looked into it (had no time to parse it all), so it will be the next step. The hard part would be to integrate it into calibre, or any other book management software. So if calibre's developer is open for this, maybe it would be possible to integrate.
I'm also open for any comments, suggestions, help or any feedback at all on this project.
