sideloadedmode=true after registration with a fake email address and there is no full sync. It will still download updates on Sage & Elipsa to Nebo handwriting subsystem, but only if you tap sync in the Notebooks section.

Indeed you do what you like with it, but if the average person wants it to actually work reliably they need to register at least once, which can be a fake non-functional email address. The Sage and Elipsa notebooks don't work without one initial registration.

I agree you shouldn't need to, but advising people to fiddle with the database instead is bizarre.

The Libra 2 might get notebooks eventually, because the Sketchpad app behaviour shows it has a digitizer and uses it with the Kobo/MS compatible Pen. One button erases and the other gives fat. Also higher resolution than finger drawing.

There is no downland and USB transfer for the Handwriting-Nebo-Notebook software. The SW is only OTA updates. Copying the files from one Sage to another is fraught, though just about possible.
