Could you build this?
Partial While searching open APIs and downloading files is simple, compiling a native Rust binary for embedded Kobo Linux, hooking into NickelMenu, handling e-ink framebuffer/UI, and converting EPUBs on-device requires specialized embedded system knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an embedded cross-compilation pipeline targeting Kobo's ARM Linux environment, integration with NickelMenu hooks, and on-device formatting via Rust libraries (kepub-rs). Developers need deep understanding of Kobo's proprietary Nickel OS filesystem, display controller refresh mechanisms for e-ink, and resilient web scraping to bypass bot mitigations on Anna's Archive and LibGen mirrors.
