The Elipsa's ID is 387, and it's a kobo8. The codename is europa. The hardware identifier is b300-ntx.

Note that this kfwproxy post was triggered by my scanner, so you won't find it on the Kobo firmware page yet (but I'm adding it right now).

I do not recommend installing this on non-Elipsa devices until I do some research into the firmware.

In addition, the filename version has a "-TF6412" suffix. I don't know what this represents yet, but I'll currently be dropping it from the version shown on the firmware page. Some initial guesses (I'll narrow these down later): a suffix added to prevent my scanner scripts picking it up early (this might be a partly-intentional side-effect of another reason), an additional build number for something other than nickel in the builds (I'll know once I inspect the firmware), an additional build number purely for the initial release (if anyone has an Elipsa, I'd like to know the factory version), or maybe a indicator for a special build of some kind.
