I can't wait to get a (regular) Kobo, my Kindle Paperwhite is still going strong and it's 10 years old, but I really want a Kobo because it's opensource. Amazon's OS is dreadful, mine's been in airplane mode for most of those 10 years and I just use a usb cable with it. I hope it dies soon so I will have a good excuse to replace it.

Kobo is open source? I don't think so.

It's not open source but it is easily rooted and you can install custom add-ons or even replace the os.

Replace the os with what?
