hey guys, i have received my auro one yesterday. Its my first ereader! The plan is that i try to relax more in the evenings, with a good book. So, a big book noob overhere. I start with Science Fiction and started yesterday with The Martian. So far, so good. Calibre worked out of the box with the aura one selected as my main driver. Is it still importend to tweak options there? It looks likes the converted book is doing fine!


I only want to tweak out the page numbers cause its taking up so much space. And i am not interested in where I am in the book. I have found several topics that i need to edit a file on the ereader, but i cant see this file (using osx). I think i need to try it with Windows tonight! Also looking for a case and found a good topic here for that! Any tips about the footer tweak are welcome



EDIT:

Yes... found this post:

- 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.


with the path starting with a dot, i think my osx cant see the map structure, and not showing the files inside!
