I'm writing this post in the context of having signed out (and back into) my kobo account on my kobo forma. doing so, interestingly, made the quick tour widget disappear, but at the cost of losing all the applied kobopatch stuff.

i connected kobo forma to laptop. i viewed .kobo/kobo/eReader.conf file. it says quickwidgettourshown=true. i changed it to false, then saved. i noticed there was an ereader.conf~ file. that ~file showed true, i believe. I then unmounted the kobo. interestingly, unlike last time, this kobo said "importing new content", and there was a progress bar. I waited till its done, and now I see the "Get a Quick Tour" widget again on my home screen, whereas it was never there since I signed out (and back into) my Kobo account two or 3 days ago! So I reconnected the kobo to laptop. aagh, i can't remember if i had to edit the conf file again. i think i didn't have to. anyway, whether it was still false or I had to again make it false, after i disconnected again, the quick widget tour was still there. I did all this without using any kobopatch.

this is ironic -- when i don't use kobopatch or edit the conf file, the quicktour widge disappears, but when i edited the conf file, it reappears. aaagh!
