If it was me, my intentions were the best. You asked for help and I
offered one.

So you have the kobo software and or/ade to download the file, DRM strip, another program to edit, another program to clean up and transfer. All for the sake of using the devices real estate.

No, you don't. You could leave it as it is any time.

So the solution is either to lobby the publishers to do things right (i'll bet they'll listen), have a margin cut feature in the kobo firmware (i would've thought this was viable) or waste shedloads of time editing and hacking your books.

All 3 options are fine with me. An amount of time and effort differs, from
the very first to the very third. Imagine when you will move publisher to
hire new workers to read. Firmware upgrade looks like future option. Last
one is under our hands. We could tweak it as we like, without a mistake.
Line still to the right? Something in css. No toc? Etc...
To be frank, it is a real pain to get newspapers on the kobo 1 without
wifi. It simply goes beyond logic. The reader was made that way to be
cheap and competitive. To read new issue of <insert>, you have to con-
nect device to usb adapter first and <insert your own words>. Not simple.
With wifi it could be simple. There is no poll if people like text or pictures
in newspapers. If text, no problemos. Someone could compile lynx to
read text or alike. Someone has any idea, without cursing?
