Just FYI I've contributed to the project before.

It works best on old kobos. Those are as easy as imaging an old sd card and running with it.

And the new kobos are VERY difficult to work with. The os is kinda slow on most models. The discord is the recommended way to talk to the main devs of the project. The project hasn't been practically updated in a long time.

Let me know if you end up using it!
