4. No worries. I am thinking of ditching calibre and using your website for firmware plus kepubify
|
If you have more than one device or if you already use Calibre extensively, I'd recommend using it (you can still mass-preconvert your books with kepubify; there is quite a bit about this on MR and GitHub). Otherwise, kepubify would the best option. If you use kepubify, consider also using covergen (it comes with kepubify) to pre-generate the covers, which will improve performance of the library browser.

5. Oh wow. Thanks for the answer. I couldn't figure out how to customized NickleMenu correctly but making a config file and adding a single orientation action taught me how to do it. I don't understand what NickelSeries does? Lastly I am just starting so I might stay away from Kobo Patches. Just stick to NickelMenu which is already too Powerful  (and series if I understand what it does correctly).

Regarding NickelMenu, you can also look at my own configuration on GitHub.
NickelSeries essentially adds built-in support for series metadata and subtitles on sideloaded books. It works across firmware versions and unlike seriesmeta and calibre, doesn't require connecting the device twice.
For the patches, I'd recommend seeing how you like the firmware as-is first. You can always enable them later if you want, and they're a bit more involved to set up and maintain than NickelMenu, NickelSeries, kepubify, and dictutil.

6. I found out how to download the latest dictionary for latest firmware using this link.

That's correct.

Thankyou so much for the reponse. One last question, should I backup my sdcard image and how should I go about doing that?
|
You can either open the case (start from the side, but be careful about the bottom snaps) and make an image or you can do it over SSH/telnet (put a minimal rootfs in a tmpfs mount, pivot_root, then make an image over the network). But why do you want to do that?
