Touch Boot kobo with a epub open - open a book on boot?

Mrbbp · 08-20-2017, 03:18 PM

Hello,
I'm playing with custom js in epub for making art piece, and would like to know if it's possible to launch a book at boot.
And it is possible to put the kobo in "kioskmode" to stay on the book?

Regards

Are you perhaps a Kobo programmer? This sounds like something that they might dream up. I would hate to see them going from an open approach to a Lockdown into Nickel and the Kobo Store.

Assuming that you have more benign motives, you might try and find the "Demo Mode" and alter that to read you epub.

You can turn demo mode on by typing: demo mode on into the search box.

Thanks ken for the demo mode...
I'm not kobo programmer, i'm just graphic designer with some js abilities... And art project with generative text...
On ebay we find kobo for some bucks, it's cheap and screen is good for text

Regards
