3. Is KoboTouchExtended plugin on Calibre enough to reconcile Kobo with Calibre keeping in mind transfer of series info from Calibre to Kobo? - Or I will need also plugins like KoboUtilities? - Or SmartEject?
4. Can I reboot Kobo without NickelMenu or it' absolutely essential tool in this situation?

- For the USB connect without have to unplug/replug, use the following in Nickelmenu:
Code:
menu_item : main : USB Connect : nickel_misc : force_usb_connection
- For now yes. This is supposed to be fixed in the next release of Kobo's firmware for devices using 4.38.21908.
- Either the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended driver will work for series. Have calibre's metadata management set to automatic and ensure the Set series information checkbox on the Metadata, on device & advanced tag of the driver is checked.
- Using NickelMenu to reboot is a lot faster than holding the power button to turn your Kobo off and then pressing it again to power on. Also, my Sage's sleepcover does not have a cutout for the power button making using the power button even more of a pain.
Code:
menu_item : main : Reboot : power : reboot
You can also add a NickelMenu option:
Code:
menu_item : main : Toggle Auto USB : nickel_setting : toggle : auto_usb_gadget
which will toggle the USB connect popup off/on. If it is off, the connection will happen as if you had pressed the connect button.
