Sorry, no idea. Probably not because it lacks an external SD-card. There has been some comment that it should be possible to do on an Aura (also no SD-card). Search the main Kobo Android threads and also angor's instructions.

But from what I've seen of android on a Aura HD is it's not worth the bother. It's slow, there is no no-refresh app, everything is so tiny it's hard to see etc. It might be better on the Glo, which you might be able to do on a Kobo Glo HD. But it's never been done AFAIK.

Better to get an Onyx or a Boyue or a root a Nook ST.

Aura lacks external microSD slot, but more importantly it has fixed memory, but it's still possible to use external microSD to dual boot Android and Kobo OS.

Would really appreciate if someone can tell us how to install android on the Glo HD. Please! I've tried the steps for the Glo and it doesn't work on the Glo HD.
