Egregoros

the temptation to try and make my own e-reader because the kobo is too slow when dealing with manga images

@navi Reminds me that my Kobo (Sage, if I remember correctly) only has one CPU core enabled, which makes sense battery-wise but maybe having at least one more enabled could help for gigantic images that you can have with manga.
(Maybe I should use something like mogrify to resize images prior to pushing them to my kobo)

@lanodan @navi is Kobo still king? I love mine, have been through two generations and I think if I need to replace my ereader I'll do Kobo again unless there's a good reason not to

@feld @navi Pretty sure they are, bought mine probably less than a year ago and they still have an ebook store (where I think I only bought a single ebook as they don't have a DRM-Free filter).
