    What is the limiting factor here? Is there a possibility this could be expanded to more devices in the near future?

      Some kindles are locked up on cpu level for no reason - fuck amazon

      Apart from that, nothing really. Most often people just start to port devices, we help them and one day they dissapear wasting our time and effort :(

      3 devices are being currently ported, anyone who has a ereader can come in and try to port it. Only time is needed, we can help with the rest.

      The only device that we couldn’t port was the first sony ereader because some weird cpu watchdog ressetted the device after boot - so our knowledge was limited on a complicated device

      The device also needs kernel sources to be released for it, but kobo and kindle do release them ( sometimes after complaining ) so thats fine too
