Thanks Nima, I saw your other project which looks even more terrific but, if I'm not mistaken, is not "yet" Libra 2 compatible. I give a try to kobox (but I didn't really understand the uninstall procedure if/when I fuck all up)
I keep you posted

If something goes wrong, a factory reset will 99% surely fix it

Hi, I tried to install it but nothing happened. I downloaded kobox.txz to .kobo folder. I have Aura One with 4.31 firmware

You will have to open the kobox.txz file, uncompress the kobox.tar file to give you a kobox directory and then copy the contents of that directory to the root of your Kobo device.

I tried to decopress it all to get folders, and I launch it with kfmon, but aura one freezed.
I downloaded InkBox too (without kobox installed), but I don't know, how to start it as addon.
