The links stopped working, so they no longer look nice like they used to. Here's an excerpt from an e-mail they sent me on November 18, 2020.
> We’ve made the very difficult decision to shut down Sourcerer and have sold our intellectual property rights and trademarks to another organization. We are not disclosing the acquiring organization at this time, but, have discussed extensively how they may be used in the future and couldn’t be more impressed with how thoughtfully they’ve communicated with us their vision for the future.

Because @ezdiy has one (or more?) and is doing a great work with it.
I also have one (Touch HD3) which I don't use and I don't plan to use, so it's available for any contributor that wants to tinker with the platform. Thanks to @Cellaris for providing the device 😄
* With a bonus version normalizer fix.
* And a zsync bump/fix to avoid softlocks with OpenStack HTTP frontends (also, pull those from the OTA mirror list).
* Switch all initial highlights to "fast" update
i.e., everything that does an invert
Plus a few other things that refresh small UI elements onTap
Re #3130
* Tweak refreshtype for a number of widgets:
* Fix iconbutton dimen
* Make touchmenu flash on close & initial menu popup. Full-screen on close.
* Use flashing updates when opening/closing dictionary popup. Full-screen on close.
* Switch FileManager to partial.
It's mostly text, and we want flash promotion there.
* Make configdialog & menu flash on exit
* Make FLWidget flash on close
* virtualkeyboard: flash on layout change & popup.
* Potentially not that great workaround to ensure we actually see the
highlights in the FM's chevrons
* Flash when closing BookStatus Widget
* Optimize away a quirk of the dual "fast" update in touchmenu
* Promote updates to flashing slightly more agressively.
* Document what each refreshtype actually does.
With a few guidelines on their optimal usecases.
* Switch remaining scheduleIn(0.0) to nextTick()
* Tighter scheduling timers
Shaving a hundred ms off UI callbacks...
* Cache FFI C Library namespace
* Ask MuPDF to convert pixmaps to BGR on Kobo
Fix#3949
* Mention koxtoolchain in the README
re #3972
* Kindle: Handle *all* fonts via EXT_FONT_DIR instead of bind mounts insanity
* Make black flashes in UI elements user-configurable
(All or nothing).
* Jot down some random KOA2 sysfs path
Improved some stylistic issues.
* Updated Travis CI reference to CircleCI.
* Switched to CircleCI "shield" style badge to fit in better with the other badges.
The debug output from Coveralls was rubbish. `"Build processing error"`
Besides some basics like checking if we were actually sending
valid JSON that gives us absolutely nothing to work with.
Technically 4.7 is probably fine for all but debugging symbols, for which a simple version check and workaround could be added. However, since all of the CI tests run 4.8 there is no regression prevention and it would be more future maintenance trouble than it's worth.
I've finally managed to build the release of KOreader for Android, but I've run into some issues.
I've updated the manual to reflect the solutions I've found.
The issues I've found are:
1. The version of the needed Android SDK platform isn't described anywhere;
2. xutils-dev is missing from the prerequisites, while it provides the `makedepend` utility used by the openssl build system;
3. Finally, for the Android build it is necessary to install JDK version 8.
