I have a new Elipsa 2e. In general I prefer my devices to do a minimum of calling home, passing on my data etc. I manage my books in Calibre and sideload them to the device.

So, I am trying to set up the Kobo without syncing it (using a Linux laptop, so I also don't have Kobo Desktop). The first step seems to work fine, though taken from a random site:

In KoboReader.sqlite, INSERT INTO user(UserID,UserKey) VALUES('1','');

That lets me past several of the initialisation steps. The next problem is trying to set up a notebook: I get 'Sync required to download the required handwriting recognition resources'. Can I find these anywhere online?

And if I can find those, am I going to find I am continually fighting the software to carry on without syncing? Although my preference is not to, if I have to, I have to.

Thanks
