Libra 2 Home page

[mmc_meneses]

Hi, good evening !

Is there any way to change the home page, the one with recent readings, my books and suggested writer?

I find it not very intuitive and confusing so i use to go directly to My books tab in stead of using it.

I have seen a patch (megapatch i guess) with a new home screen but it is not working anymore.

Thanks

It's simply a config option in a user accessible text file (use Notepad++ in Window, not notepad, Linux & Mac OK).

After [ApplicationPreferences]
SideloadedMode=true

(Make sure not already there with false)

Connect your Kobo eReader to your computer
Navigate to KoboeReader/.kobo/Kobo and open the file "Kobo eReader.conf"
Place your option under the relevant heading e.g [ApplicationPreferences]. If it does not exist then create it
Save the file then eject your Kobo eReader

Note on Mac & Linux you have to enable "view hidden files".

This may affect other things? Syncing with Kobo store, libraries,...?

Is the

SideloadedMode=true

option mandatory, or is it there because it was in your config?

Obviously the Kobo Store and Sync doesn't work. Clue in the name.

I've no idea about libraries because our local ones only work with iOS, Android and PC (with ADE, so not Linux).

However if you only have one Kobo and use Calibre for Kobo Shop, Amazon Shop etc and only use USB transfer then it's fine.

By default the option doesn't exist.

You can exit sideloadedMode in the GUI settings (without resetting database), and then the config file has SideloadedMode=false.
Thus re-adding after the section heading won't work. The exit will have moved the entry and then to re-enable it needs edited.

You can exit SideloadedMode via GUI but only enter it via editing the config file.

Sure, but the OP didn't say how they were using the Kobo. Maybe saves them a little bit of work by clarifying.

And OP, if you do use SideloadedMode, you can still get dictionaries and updates by using Wifi (as I recall.)
