Kobo Mini

Hello everyone,

I have been using a KOBO MINI e-reader for several years, I wanted to update it recently. Unable to synchronize the e-reader due to a network error.

I called KOBO support who kindly explained to me that I could no longer use this e-reader.
After some research on the internet, I saw that it might be possible to install KOREADER software.

I made numerous attempts to install it on my KOBO MINI FNAC e-reader by reformatting it completely and installing the software using the install.ps1 scripts, etc.

Nothing to do, the e-reader always restarts on the KOBO FNAC installation.

What exactly should I do as an installation sequence to obtain a KOREADER e-reader?

Thank you for your help.

To use NickelMenu the device needs to be activated first. If connecting is not an option to do that, see https://kobo-offline.virgulilla.com/ and similar.

(If the firmware is sufficiently old, KSM might also be an option. See here.)

If the OS is old, it's best to update it (IMHO).

But unfortunately, the firmware website is not working.
