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.

Someone Got Kobo Software to Run on a Nook
I saw a post on MobileRead yesterday with the picture above showing Kobo software running on a Nook Glowlight Plus (the 7.8″ model from 2019), and somehow this achievement isn’t getting any attention. So far there aren’t any details about how the person accomplished this feat, but they say everything works, except the display keeps […]
