I have been working my way through the article "Kobo Shelves and Collections". Being tired of my data being collected by all and sundry, I attempted the fix to prevent my collections being synced to Kobo each time I get an update. First I deleted all book files on Kobo using Calibre. Then in Win8.1, I tried...
1. Finding directory.kobo\kobo directory\Kobo eReader.conf
2. Opened this file in notepad
3. Found [ApplicationPreferences]
4. Next line added SyncShelves=false
5. Saved and exited
I then synced to Kobo.
Out of curiosity - as there were books mentioned in that Kobo eReader.conf file that had not been on my ereader for yonks - I rechecked this file. The line I added - SyncShelves=false - was gone
...... and the book lines were still there e.g. lastLibraryReadingStatusFilter_shelf_filterByBooks helf%28Foreigner%20Short%20Stories%29=removeReadin gStatusFilter()
How do I make this SynShelves=false, permanent - and how do I clear all memory of what books have previously been synced?
