How can I add the Libra H20 user guide to the Help menu?

Pjama · 10-25-2021, 04:45 PM

I remembered the instructions being (strangely enough) on one of the Dark Mode threads, but I've done a lot of searching and can't find them.

Someone posted the location of where to paste the Libra H20 user guide to so that it shows up in the Help section on the device, sorry, I can't remember who it was!

I did this and it worked great, but then I had to factory reset my kobo and have forgotten where to paste it (the Libra H2O had the on device User Guide omitted, for some reason).

I tried pasting it into .kobo, but it just appears as a book.

Does anyone know or remember?

On my Clara HD, I have "userguide.pdf" in the directory ".kobo\guide".

Thanks David, I should have said, that was where I placed the PDF guide (in the Guide directory in .kobo), but it just showed up as a Book, whereas before it showed up within the Help menu.

So, it looks like I was putting it in the right place but it wasn’t behaving correctly. I’ll try renaming the PDF to match yours tomorrow and see if that makes a difference somehow.

Update: renaming the PDF worked and the User Guide is now where it should be. Thanks!

It's not needed. If you place a file named userguide.pdf inside the .kobo/guide directory, a link to it will appear in the Help menu under the Other Resources section.
