Newbie to PW2, few questions
I couldn't resist the $79 for a refurbished PW2 offer, and even though I can't see myself using it that often, I can take advantage of rental books through Prime, so that alone will more than pay for it. And it never hurts to have another toy! But there's a few things I'd really like changed on it.
1. Adding my own fonts. The fonts on it are just too thin and there doesn't seem to be a way to darken them or make them bolder unless you add your own fonts. I have to say this is the biggest disappointment on the reader. The easy trick using the USE_ALT_FONTS file and adding them doesn't work on a PW2, so is the only way to do it by jailbreaking the reader? I upgraded to 5.6.1 and from what I've read so far it seems most likely that I should downgrade back to 5.4 and use the present methods of jailbreaking to add my own fonts? Is there one post that has all the information on doing it all, jailbreaking and adding the fonts? This is the biggest issue for me to comfortably read the free books.
2. Is there a metadata plugboard setup that will rename the books to show Title [#] Series?
3. I'd like to be able to have Calibre sort books into the Collections I set when I send them to the device automatically, the same as it works for Sony and Kobo readers. Is that possible without too much trouble or having to repeat it each firmware upgrade? The hacks for the Kindle seems far more involved (and risky) than what is needed for Sony or Kobo readers.
4. Is there a way to have the cover of the book you're reading display while the reader is asleep?
#1 really is the most important one for me, and as long as Calibre can rename the books to include the series info, the last 2 would be nice but I could live without them.
