I tested on Win 7 and 10 only.

I feel terribly guilty causing all this hassle just because I put brackets in the folder name. I'm so sorry.

Is there a patch for Kobo that allows you to flip page forward, swipe left to right?

I searched the forum and did not find anything like this

[oren64]

You can change the tap area page forward/back in Reading setting.


If you are reading a book in RTL languages (Hebrew, Arbic...), and you want to swipe and tap page left to right, you need to change the page-progression to rtl in the book.

- Open the book with Sigil or Calibre>edit book.

- In .opf change the line "<spine toc="ncx">" to "<spine page-progression-direction="rtl" toc="ncx">"



It only work in Kepub format, so you can change the extension of the book to .kepub.epub, or use
Kobo Utilities in Calibre.

oren64, I just long used ereader, where page-flipping swipe left to right. And now automatically turn the pages as well)

Was looking for a patch that would help me return to swipe page left to right.

A Greek keyboard for the 3.19.5761 firmware.
Tested with a GloHD that I was customizing for a friend.
Hope it works on other models and firmwares too..

It increase the size of the pop-up dictionary.

copy the file "nickel.patch" to 3.xx.x_source folder.

You can increase the height of the pop-up, by increasing the height frame in "nickel.patch" and the height text in "libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch".

Tried applying this to my Aura One, doesn't seem to change anything. I didn't fully expect it would. Any chance of an update?

The patch no longer works on GeoffR pacher, see Here.

[Maverynthia]

Is there a way to patch the footer to have both the "% read" AND the "time left in book". Currently Kobo only allows for an OR, "either the % OR the Time BUT NOT BOTH >8[!"

Basically I want the footer to look something like this:
4 hours 4 min. 17%

It would be nice to be able to see how much time I have left AND what % I'm at without having to jump to the settings all the time. It's something kindle has by default and I'm so used to it.

There is no patch to do that.

You can cycle the progress indicator between page/percentage/time by long-pressing on the indicator. Not eactly what you want, but faster than going into settings to change it.
