First excuse my ignorance and if I'm posting in the wrong section of the forum. My new Libra sits in the box in front of me after a battery charge. I've read the tips and tricks thread and a few others on the first three pages. I'm typically aggressive in terms of owning and controlling hardware I purchase. I've definitely cracked open and flashed ota or soldered jtag to accomplish this or that. Still I purchased from kobo because to me they seemed the least "evil" of the bunch, hehe.

1) this thread right here seems to ask all the questions I would. Can I use it, substituting for the Libra?https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=334173

2) Can somebody clarify for me the repercussions of online connectivity(logging in/out) or point me to that information. It seems there is a registration bypass, but this also has repercussions. I'm really trying to figure this out.

3) I work in a medical/technical field and I really need, in these times, some escapism whether it's getting the reader just right with some patches or the reading the book itself.

Thanks for the patience
