You need linefeeds - they're lost while editing with a 'wrong' program. To repair your 'Kobo eReader.conf', just open it
with Notepad++ and split it into lines (in other words, insert linefeeds):
Code:
[General]
selectionStyle=underline
[ApplicationPreferences]
SyncShelves=false
66666333=true
AIRPLANE_MODE=true
BrightnessOpenCount =-1
... where the key 'SyncShelves' must be in section '[ApplicationPreferences]'. Now the important part. Make sure
that you're saving the file as a Linux file. Go to 'Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Convert to UNIX format' and click it. The
entry becomes grey - now you can save the config file.
If you like to edit the file again (with Notepad++) you don't need to convert again.

Generally, the syntax of the config file is:
Code:
[SectionName]
KeyName=Value
AnotherKeyName=Value
[AnotherSectionName]
YetAnotherKeyName=Value
KeyName=Value
MySpecialKeyName=Value
The key order within each section doesn't matter. But it's important, that a key sits in the appropriate section. This is
the same syntax like a normal Windows INI file - except for the different linefeeds of course
