(A hidden folder is one that is named with a "." as the first character, like .Books or .Library) All the files & folders within a hidden folder are hidden as well whatever their names. If you use calibre to send your book to your device, you can use the "Save to folder" option and the hidden folder.

Ok, thank you for informing me about that. Why is it best to "keep my books away from the Kobo processing"?

I will also be solely reading by uploading books from my pc to the Aura One device, if that's relevant.

Also should I make an account and allow the updates or should I immediately jump into those instructions https://github.com/koreader/koreader...es#newer-model ?
