The full screen option and fix can be enabled, and it can also be undone. These are the steps:
- Go to the folder "\.kobo\Kobo\" on the device.
- Open the file "Kobo eReader.conf" with an editor that understands Unix/Linux line endings, such as Notepad++ on Windows.
- Add this option:
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true
Just add the fullscreen option under the FeatureSettings section. If you don't have the FeatureSettings section, then create it. This option will unlock the full screen setting in the "Reading Settings" menu of the device.
- Create a file "kobo_extra.css" in the top folder of the device, and put the following lines in there:
Code:
body { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; }
div#book-columns { padding-left: 0.2em !important; padding-right: 0.2em !important; }
These lines are style sheet code, which will be injected into each file you sideload to the reader using calibre. This code fixes the problems in the full screen option.
- If you haven't already, install the Kobo Touch Extended plugin/driver in calibre.
- Restart Calibre and connect your device.
- Click "Device -> Configure this Device" in Calibre, and enable the option "Modify CSS" in the "Collections, Covers and Uploads" tab. Also enable "Extended Kobo Features" in the "Extended" tab.
- Restart calibre.
- Remove all books from the device, and then eject it.
- From the home screen go into the Reader settings and disable the "Show header and footer" option.
- Connect the device again, and re-upload your books.
You should now be able to read in full screen mode.
Seeing your progress requires two taps: first one to call up the menu, then click the graph button on the lower right.

If you wish to undo the full screen mode:
- First enable the option "Show Header and Footer" in the Reader Settings.
- Connect the device to your computer.
- Remove the file kobo_extra.css from the device
- Remove the option you added in the conf-file
- Uncheck "Modify CSS" in the Kobo Touch Extended plugin configuration
- Remove your books from the device, and upload them again.
