This is maybe the biggest FINALLY in my career as a purveyor of Oddly Specific Objects: The Open Book is in prelaunch at Crowd Supply! But it's not the same old Open Book; we're launching the all-new, completely reimagined Open Book Touch with WiFi and Bluetooth support, a higher-resolution display, capacitive touchscreen, and frontlight with adjustable color temperature.

The main unknown: Do you budget time to work on the OS?

in reply to joey castillo • • •Really looking forward to this coming out.
Small suggestion: Beta-testing it with some sample titles from standardebooks.org/ might be an idea - they produce lovely free editions that would be great to see on the Open Book.

in reply to Morgan Arnold • •@Morgan Arnold @joey castillo afaik koreader has been written to run on a computer¹ with a full operating system. This is a microcontroller based system, different architecture, orders of magnitude less resources.
So I'd say somewhere between “requires a full rewrite” and “just impossible”
¹ yes, a smartphone is a full computer, and so are most ebook readers. they are smaller than a PC, but potentially run the same software, and if they don't it's because the producers artificially added locks to prevent it.
