What Hacker News says?

  1. That looks amazing! I've been thinking to move to Kobo as well with iBooks feeling like abandonware, and it's also been interesting to see community projects like Nico Verbruggen's typesetting fixes for ebooks[1][2]. Honestly, seeing your fixes and his, makes me more excited about potentially getting one with all the tuning possible. Time to wait and see if anything new gets announced at IFA.
