The Kobo Clara BW is a great platform for emacs via [efbpad](https://github.com/enthdegree/efbpad).
This project describes a build process for native terminal emacs on the Clara BW. It should extend directly to other devices too. 
The build process is uncomplicated but fairly long. 
It is described in [`BUILD.md`](./BUILD.md).
It should be followed by spirit and not by letter!
vim, which relies on only a subset of emacs's dependencies, is included

[Here is a video of it in action](https://youtube.com/shorts/0Jld5KgFcXU)

Criticism and problems are included in [`TODO.md`](./TODO.md)

# Prebuilt image
Instead of compiling everything you can try things out with a (maybe out-of-date) pre-built image from [here](https://mega.nz/folder/HdZlBQYA#4n_5f8hWzS3yp6b-KKa4hA):

- Install `efbpad` and ensure it's working
 - From the zip move `onboard/.efbpad_profile` and `onboard/.localfs.img` onto `/mnt/onboard`. 
   The kobo's shipped `tar` seems to have issues unzipping large files there so they should be transferred to the device directly.
 - `emacs` should now be in the `$PATH`.

You should still read [`BUILD.md`](./BUILD.md) for information on how to configure things.
