I am really tempted to buy a kobo mini to tweak with it ...
What I really miss with the kobo is :
- folder hierarchy
- RSS newsreader (offline mode)
- manga/comics viewing
With debian it is pretty sure it should be ok (well in coolreader for kobo too I gues).

Yes. It all works. However I would like to have bigger screen than 6''. 5'' in kobo mini would be definitely too small for me - I would definitely consider to by Aura HD if you can compile kernel yourself - to have bigger screen, resolution and more memory.
Great idea!

How about the usuability of calibre in "Koboian" ?
|
Works really good except it's not easy to exit from fullscreen mode (you have to hit Esc key - and minimizing it with home button doesn't work like with other apps - maybe it behaves different in the newest version - there is pretty old one included in debian repository). Configuring gesture for Esc could help.

If you set up a debian chroot on your Kobo, such as this thread details, you can install a gameboy emulator with "apt-get install gnuboy-x"

You can run it but it's totally unusable because of too low frame-rate in gray scale mode. I hope to implement automatic switch to dithered black & white refresh mode on areas with motion someday. Playing games and watching animations will be possible then.
