KOReader is an awesome application on Kobo device. The architecture of application is very flexible.
I follow the guides of NiLuJe to modify source code a little to let my Kobo Elipsa to use bluetooth.
The only file you modify is koreader/frontend/device/kobo/device.lua
01. Add "hasKeys = yes," in KoboEuropa object.
-- Kobo Elipsa
local KoboEuropa = Kobo:new{
model = "Kobo_europa",
isSunxi = yes,
canToggleChargingLED = yes,
hasFrontlight = yes,
hasKeys = yes,
hasGSensor = yes,
canToggleGSensor = yes,
pressure_event = C.ABS_MT_PRESSURE,
misc_ntx_gsensor_protocol = true,
display_dpi = 227,
boot_rota = C.FB_ROTATE_CCW,
battery_sysfs = "/sys/class/power_supply/battery",
ntx_dev = "/dev/input/by-path/platform-ntx_event0-event",
touch_dev = "/dev/input/by-path/platform-0-0010-event",
isSMP = yes,
}
02. Modify key code for your pageturner, I use Logitech R500.
-- NOTE: For the Forma, with the buttons on the right, 193 is Top, 194 Bottom.
self.input = require("device/input"):new{
device = self,
event_map = {
[35] = "SleepCover", -- KEY_H, Elipsa
[59] = "SleepCover",
[90] = "LightButton",
[102] = "Home",
[105] = "RPgBack",
[106] = "RPgFwd",
[116] = "Power",
[331] = "Eraser",
[332] = "Highlighter",
},
03. Open your pageturner manually. My pageturner is event4.
-- NOTE: usb hotplug event is also available in /tmp/nickel-hardware-status (... but only when Nickel is running ;p)
self.input.open("fake_events")
self.input.open("/dev/input/event4")
Enjoy it.

The issue of entering Kobo again is that we can't use bluetooth anymore. The below messages are from logread command. Maybe we can google these keywords to get the solution ?
