- NickelSeries does likely have compatibility issues with 4.35 since I've had multiple reports of crashes while importing books. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but it is safe to uninstall it temporarily.
- It's also not out of the question that 4.35 has bugs too, which NickelSeries just makes more likely to happen for one reason or another. Remember that Kobo did pull this release shortly after.
- I'd like to hear from anyone with/without NickelSeries working.
Thank you! For the record, I did import one book (no series, but it did have a subtitle), and I didn't notice anything amiss with NickelSeries. It certainly didn't crash, but I don't remember if the metadata was transferred correctly.

Since nobody else is reporting similar issues, and since I'm still having problems after downgrading, I'm inclined to think that my preview problem is some kind of account weirdness rather than directly due to a bug in the 4.35 firmware (let alone NickelSeries).
