I have decided to release a beta image of InkBox OS for the Kobo Clara HD (N249). It is on version 2.0, but with development commits that were added after that release.
The system works fine enough to be usable by most users, but the eInk screen's performance is not very good. This is probably due to a problem in the framebuffer rendering API that we will hopefully fix soon. That said, it's probably still something the average user can cope with.
I hope that you will enjoy it and that you will post your impressions somewhere, either here or on our Discord/Matrix servers. As usual, we are not to be considered responsible for any damage done to your device before, during or after the install process.

Enjoy
