Dear all,
When sideloadedmode was first metnioned here (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=18 by quoth), i signed out and then back into my kobo account
(I googled, and this is what i thought sideloadedmode meant)
As an aside, it has lost all track of my reading locations and which books are recently read and which books aren't. In other words, all the books on my Kobo are now marked as unread. This isn't a big deal for me. I just hope it didn't lose my highlights and annotations.
As pertaining to our subject matter, it looks like signing out and signing back in removed the quick widget tour from my home screen. So now I don't know whether or not I need side loaded mode.
