I think you misunderstand me.

I am not trying to read or do anything on the aura one while it is connecting to the computer. Having not used my E reader frequently, I was surprised that the screen went off, and when I called Kobo they told me that was abnormal! I must tell you that Kobo representatives are not the most helpful I’ve come across.

So I know it is connecting to the computer because I’m not only seeing the kobo folder, but I was able to download a free book. H

However, it doesn’t seem that my firmware has upgraded to the newest mandatory one. It is currently at 4.35.900400.

Another anomaly is that when doing a factory reset the process seems to have failed, as all my books were on my kobo. Possibly this had something to do with the other micro USB cable I was using.

Putting that aside, is there an automated nickel menu installation, or does it require, as it seems, significant edits.

I would like to get as much out of my aura, one as possible, until I upgrade, and dark mode, which seems possible with a nickel menu, would be a great benefit to me.

Thanks!
