Aura HD Total number of book page

[n3xtITA]

Hi all, I purchased a book from the Kobo store. The format is kepub. While reading shows me down the number of pages of that chapter. How do I show him the pages of the entire book?

Example:

Read 15/18 Chapter 1 to Total number of book: 15/368

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=218376 has a lot of optioms you can add to the Kobo config file, including one that does this.

Yes, it does. Just add the '[FeatureSettings]' as well, like this:

[FeatureSettings]
FullBookPageNumbers=True

One of the things that annoys me about kepubs is the chapter numbers, so I tried adding this and it works greats! It gives the chapter and total page count.

But when I went back to my preferred epub, it only lists "Pg. 255" and no longer lists "Pg. 255 of 479" for instance. Is there any other line that will work with kepub but not change epub display of the pages?

I am lost and confused add [FeatureSettings] sounds simple but where and how do I access the config file on Kobo Aura?

I have tried looking via claibre, on the device and via the Kobo App.

When you plug your Aura via the USB cable to your PC, the path for the file you need to edit is:

.kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf *

Open that .conf file into any text editor and just add those lines to it and save. Unplug and enjoy seeing full book pages on your kepubs.

*That's the path on the Glo, I'm assuming directory structure will be the same for the AuraHD.

The path structure is identical (and has been like that since the original Kobo).

Hello,

It does not work on Kepub because it indicates a total number of pages visionary and it really kind of pages 2 to 35 then 72 etc ...

Hi Polynésia, what doesn't work exactly?

1. Plug in your Kobo to the computer;
2. Open the file Ripplinger posted above: .kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf *
3. Add the code in this file
[FeatureSettings]
FullBookPageNumbers=True
4. SAVE the file, then close it
5. Eject your Kobo
6. RESTART your Kobo

You should now see Page 2 of 452 (for instance), and not of 35 or 72.


*If you are working from a Mac, the .kobo folder will be invisible. To view it:
1. From the Finder, go to menu "Go"
2. Click on "Go to Folder..." down the bottom of the "Go" menu
3. A field will open, type in "/Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo"
4. Hit go. You will find the config file in the "Kobo" folder

Can you clarify what you mean by "RESTART your Kobo"? Do you mean power off and power back on; paper clip reset? I'm wondering if maybe this is at the heart of my freezing issues using this feature....

Power Off / Power On... No more; no less

Are you also sure you only have a single [FeatureSettings] section in the conf file?

Thanks, Peter. I'm 99% positive I only have a single [FeatureSettings] section as I had to add it to my conf file; it wasn't already there to begin with.
