Here is a script I use for initialization with an image directory maintenance component added. This will work on MAC OSX by running it with terminal using

./kobo.sh

<- kobo.sh being the file name for the script.

If you cannot execute the script type the following to make the file executable.

chmod +x kobo.sh

This is the data for your kobo.sh file.

#!/bin/sh
#KOBOeReader setup script for OSX.
#Make sure the Kobo's drive label has not 
#been changed from KOBOeReader.
