Wow. This is rad, well done. I've been trying to find an alt OS for my Clara Colour and this looks great. Being able to author apps means I can finally add a way to review my highlights/quotes and search them with ease.

Edit: damn, just saw the BW note. It looks like the Clara Colour would be blocked by Cobalt...

As a Kindle owner; I'm very jealous.

I'm not. I want my Kindle to do ONE job well, not turn into another multi-purpose device.

It is totally different to be able to do something versus actually doing it.

It is not because you can install and run apps that you have to.

I too would like my Kindle to do one single thing well. Sadly, we seem to be waiting for that future to arrive.

I see a recent merge for Elips 2E support, hopefully color gets tested soon
