"Hyphenation
Both - (? I only know the Extended)[/QUOTE]
As per my last post, the current README is for the new code being tested. The first post has the README you'll want to read hidden behind a SPOILER tag.

How do I do it?

If you want to update the hyphenation dictionary, then you must be able to create .tgz files. If you don't want to update the hyphenation dictionary, then it doesn't matter.

Specifically where isn't important. You can do it on your Desktop, in your Downloads folder, under My Documents, in your temporary files directory, on a USB key... literally anywhere you want, just pick a spot that makes sense to you.

Yes.

The 'usr' folder that you just created above, that gets added to a new file 'KoboRoot.tgz'. This is where you need to be able to properly create .tgz files. As I state in the README:

Windows users, you're on your own. Contributions of reliable Windows directions are welcome!

So...

You'll need to wait for someone else who's a Windows user to chime in, I'm afraid I'm not much help. Perhaps Google could help you, a quick search I did suggests that a program called 7Zip may be of use to you.

Not really, but anyone who can make the README easier to understand is welcome to contribute

Interesting... I'll try removing the plugin and re-adding it. As it stands right now, it works fine for me. Which __init__.py did you add? Did you add the empty one that's there or did you rename conversion_init.py to __init__.py and then add a non-empty __init__.py?

Actually the SQL folder should be gone. It shouldn't get added to any ZIP files, it shouldn't be in the attached ZIP files, and I should have deleted it from the Git repo.
