Use this firmware on your own risk and of course you should be familiar with emergency hardware factory reset procedure before trying alternative firmwares (I had to use it quite a few times when doing my mods). So I simply took the latest official firmware, added Plato and modified the start script not to start Nickel but start Plato. Afterall, I don't want to use Nickel at all. However, I was not happy with the "hacks" like the start menu, or using inotify to start an alternative reader app.

I knew this would be a problem even before being the ebook reader so I did some research and chose Kobo because they make it very easy to load an alternative firmware and there is a big community with various mods and several mature alternative reader apps. I just load an ebook on the device and then read the book, I don't need nor want anything else from the eink reader. I recently bought a Kobo Clara - my first eInk device and I have to say the technology is brilliant - however I don't want to have a device that is effectively a terminal to a cloud service (whether Amazon or Rakuten or whatever) I want to.
