I'm trying to use this hack so I can toggle between using book covers and my own pictures without having to connect to a computer and delete the screensaver folder.

But I previously installed Nickel with KO reader, so I already have a folder .kobo/KoboRoot.tgz

Therefore, I cannot do this step without an error. And I assume if I rename either of the KoboRoots it will mess up my reader.

"copy KoboRoot-ScreenSaver*.tgz » .kobo/KoboRoot.tgz"

Can I rename it? I assume if I overwrite the previous KoboRoot that will mess up my Nickel installation - is that true?

I heard so much about Kobo screensavers being so easy to customize that I assumed it would be an easy fix to switch between my own images and the book covers. I think I could use the method in this thread if not for the KoboRoot issue. Can anyone help please, thanks.
