k2: App store and device manager for Kindle

katadelos · 11-02-2026, 07:41 PM

k2 is an app store and device manager for Kindle devices.

It works on all kindlepw2 and kindlehf devices.

k2 is based on opkg and provides access to all packages released on my opkg beta feed (300+

): https://github.com/katadelos/eink-opkg-beta/tree/main

To install k2, download this scriptlet and run it from your device.

Code:

Thanks for this, and all the work you've done and packages you've released for the Kindle community recently!! Works great so far on a PW5!

I tried installing on an Oasis 2 running 5.16.2.1.1 and it failed at the opkg update step with:

I can get the same failure from a shell after sourcing the env with . /mnt/us/.eink-sdk/control/env and running opkg update manually.
