Glo Glo HD - View Details of a book

Syana344 · 04-01-2016, 08:19 AM

Hi everybody,

I read quite a lot of posts, but did not find an answer to my question.
I use Calibre (2.53) to sort my books and add quite some information and custom columns. I have also several tags which I use to create the collections on my Kobo reader (several of them: Touch, Glo, Aura, AuraHD, H2O and Glo HD), in version 3.18.
I transfer the epub to my kobo with the adequate extention, having at the end Kepubs.

My question: do I have any possibility to show on my Kobo reader some more information in the detail view of the book (e.g. number of pages - which is a custom column in Calibre - tags, when I have several of them and are in Calibre... etc)? Of course, the alternative would be to put the information at start of the synopsis... but, if I find an easier solution, that would be highly welcome

Thanks a lot

Yes you can. davidfor has a beta-version of his Kobo Utilities plugin which can do this. I've added my calibre #pages custom page-count column to the Kobo's Details page with just a few minutes work.

There are 2 versions of the beta, first one here and second one here, where you can read more about it.

Thank you sooo much Jackie_w

I'll try it and come back to give a feedback.

:-) Wish you a nice Sunday :-)

So, that's done... and works perfectly :-)

I have to confess that I needed more than a few minutes, because I'm a newbe in html, but with a little bit of perseverance, I made it... even with the custom columns and a customized font.
Thanks a lot for the tip :-)
