"3. Copy the original firmware you just downloaded into the kobopatch src folder"
Where is this? Do I create it on host or kobo?
I've an H2O original and use Linux Mint.
Do I unzip the downloaded patch zip file? (if so where?)
Is there a list somewhere of what this does or how particular patch options chosen, or are there instructions in the downloaded patch zip?
Do I need to use "sudo kobopatch.sh"? Presumably this is in the downloaded patch zip.
Perhaps I need more coffee. I've not patched my kobo before and just updated to 4.12.12111 last night. Amazingly it didn't seem to add new bugs and now the full screen works (before it always worked for a while with ePubs and then chopped edge of right margin). I like the idea of removing recommendations on the home screen as I'm never going to buy from Kobo, only Smashwords and Amazon. I don't actually buy many eBooks, I tend to buy on paper unless the eBook is a lot cheaper. I mostly use my Kobo to annotate proof reading of my own writing, some A5 PDF manuals and classics etc from
www.gutenberg.org (I've found sometimes the margins on ePubs from there don't work so now I only download "Kindle/Mobi with Images" and use Calibre to convert).
Thanks for all the good work!
