Device: kobo touch
For FW 3.5.0. Don't use it with other FW versions.

Usage:
  • extract the content of the archive into a folder on your pc
  • double click on 3.5.0.bat
  • copy the newly created KoboRoot.tgz, which you will find in the folder 3.5.0_target, to the .kobo folder on your device.
Take this to be an emergency release. There changed several things in the code, and I will not find the time to investigate it for some time. Note that:
  • nothing concerned with annotations is covered by this patch package
  • I did not test the results, since I do not have my device at hand (EDIT: I have tested it now. I chose a to small font size for the Dictionary [Gothic version] even for the Touch.)

Originally, I used the files of the mark 5 packages for this patch, since I was not aware that the nickel of the mark 5 package differs from and is slightly newer as the version of the mark 4 package. I think there is no harm in using the mark 5 nickel together with the other files of the mark 4 FW, as I an doing now since a while. Anyway, I added a version for mark 4 too.
After some consideration, I added another package (KBPatcher08_3.5.0_inc30.zip) that covers more than the other two packages. The effect is similar to the one with the pre-.patched file that I provided for FW 3.0.1, cf. this post.(I used again nickel of the mark 5 FW. But this should not be a problem.)

New: I added a version for the patcher maintained by GeoffR. It is based on the mark 4 FW. For some details, see this post.

As always, owners of devices different from Touch, especially of Aura HD, will have to modify the patch files partially.

USE THIS PACKAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
