There’s a post over at MobileRead where someone discovered that Kobo is now using Secure Boot on the new Kobo Libra Colour, and that probably includes the other new Kobo models as well (the Clara Colour and Clara BW). On the surface that might sound like a good thing for security reasons, but it’s not […]

The Kobo Libra 2 is back and it’s available to purchase from Kobo’s website again. Both the black and white versions are in stock, and they’re selling for $159 with free shipping.

The release notes don’t say much about the changes, but apparently they fixed a couple of bugs, including a database corruption issue that has been a problem for a long time now.

So far there aren’t any details about how the person accomplished this feat, but they say everything works, except the display keeps […]
