My Kobo Aura has a crack in the screen (from a blow) and is unusable. The screen seemed to sort of work, briefly, but has now frozen with streaks/"tears" as well as remnants of the home screen. The only response I now get is the flashing orange LED when sliding the power switch.

Going through the forum led me to disassemble the device believing I would be able to remove the physical storage and recover the sqlite db. I am now fairly certain, however, this approach is not easy if even possible with the Aura.

I am keenly interested in salvaging a raft of recent annotations that I wasn't able to backup.
