Hi and welcome to MR. No, generally you can use them out of the box as they are. I would suggest when your H2O comes just put a few books on it and have fun. Whatever tweaks are here they are for super enthusiasts who like to tweak to improve things. I used to tweak and tweak but now I dislike it. I prefer to do other stuff. I sometimes tweak inside a book (css code) but for the rest I gave up, I find it boring and tedious nowadays, I have no interest or patience. I don't even want to upgrade H2O to 3.12 firmware for the time being which is as simple as turning wifi on. But I'm fine with 3.11 so it stays.

Nowadays I cannot even stomach opening calibre to add plugins and create tags, whatever can be done, I'm no longer interested. I just added a line in kobo config file and also got rid of the seller logo.

So, my H2O works very well with only a tiny tweak and - when I have to I tweak a book to my taste (grumpily, usually takes me a week to decide and sit down to do it) But as Han Solo said "hey, it's me!"

Ah, before I forget, I did take it to hot bath. With lots of foam. Didn't dip it but it was nice to read worry free.
