Just FYI, older Kobos are exceptionally easy to repair and modify.
I used to play around with https://quill-os.org/ and it worked decently well on kobo until the newer versions started to crack down on the mod scene.
Nowadays im thinking the open book or Diptyx E-Reader might be a better bet for long term sustainability. Its great ifixit is working with kobo, but the software is still locked down.
I would hate trying to find what I wanted with that much storage on my Aura. It’s so slow, which is fine when reading, but I really try to limit it to like 100 titles so I can browse through.
I think it still works at a decent speed for my use. I also got a higher class SD card, so not sure if that impacts it much, but it does feel a bit snappier.
