I'd better not comment on that or I might get into trouble with my wife. Or Willa.

Anyway, I appreciate your patience in working with us newbies ... I do know that I can search in the forums .... my main thing is that I find a thread with 20 pages and I never know if the info in the first message ... like the first message of Kevin Short's Nightmode hack dated nine months ago and the links within it are current for my version of Firmware (or your threads related to Calibre when it says "only works on version X.X.X" and my Calibre version is newer ...)
Most of the for the hacks and plugins keep the first post updated. Some will update the info and others will have a link to the post in the thread for the current version. I just checked the Nightmode hack thread, and the first post is up to date.

As to my references to calibre versions, it is usually the cut-off point. I'm usually referring to the version where something changed. For new function or firmware support, it means the version that function or support. All versions after that will have the same function.

Thank you for taking the time to help!

I'm working on:
**Nightmode
**The Kobo Utilities Plug-in (that's not the same as the driver ... I can use both the Touch driver (with others disabled AND the Kobo utility plug-in, right?)
Th KoboTouch driver is needed to communicate with the device. The utilities plugin is separate, but relies on function in the driver to do a lot of its work.

And generally getting my library up to date before sending it to the device.

How does one back up the device and Calibre before doing anything major? I'll poke around in the forums
For calibre, backup the directory that has your library. For the device, you either backup the whole drive, or just the device database. The utilities plugin can do the database backup.
