    Yet Another Weather app for Kobo

    • Kobos are fantastic. I don’t think they took off outside of Canada unfortunately.

    Last time I was at Value Village I saw a handful of them for $5 each. I picked up a couple of them and turned one into a weather station[0]. Took under 5 minutes including mounting it.
