I finally went and made a clock with my kobo (without touchscreen). I'm finishing with the software (ahem, this kind of hacks never end) and then build a proper wood frame and install a big "snooze" button.
The application is built against SDL, SDL_ttf and freetype. I use some lua code to fetch the weather from the internet.
The device has wifi disabled by default. a crontab will trigger the wifi to allow syncing the time and fetching new weather info.
I'm pretty sure I'll release this application in github sometime soon
