The Kobo isn't my only mobile internet reading device, but I do have it with me often enough to wonder if there's a better way to browse.

Perfect! Now I just have to convince the Kobo people to implement it!

Apparently, some source is available.

https://github.com/kobolabs/Kobo-Reader

But not the actual reading program itself. Nor the browser, from what I could find.

That's what I'm currently doing. Unfortunately, for long articles, scrolling is still an annoying problem.

DJCouchyCouch writes "I have a Kobo Touch eReader that comes with a bare-bones web browser. Being E Ink based, the browsing experience is pretty poor due to the low refresh rate of the screen. Scrolling is twitchy and often laggy. Are there sites out there that can reformat a website to be more like book reading? Not asking for a perfect, tablet-like experience, just something better than what it does now. Thanks!"
