Oh, right, that was it. At least there's always a way.

Regarding Android, that couldn't be me. I even looked into cross-flashing Kobo's OS onto the Shine 4, but I think the SoC just wouldn't have been supported. For me Android is just too power hungry, runs too slow and apps need to be as lean as possible, let alone being usable without outdated, hacky on-screen buttons. And even then I'd spend most of my time on KOReader.

I'll closely follow this thread as well as the updates. I hope this becomes a nice, stable, snappy and feature complete system.
