You can read the first post where you can see a very good instructions, especially from the sentence: "To install, copy..."
Also, you can use google translator. It's enought to understand what to do.

You can probably do the same thing with the Calibre addons for Kobo collection management, if you configure it accordingly.

Thanks guys. Yep, I misunderstood some of the earlier items in this thread.

I am thankful we can have Collections (or shelves) at all. With the large storage available now on these devices allowing thousands of books, we do need some help to manage them all!

in addition to the logo it should actually say "autoshelf" after you tap it, that's when it's on and will create collections when you unplug usb

as described in the first post

You can enable/disable it by tapping the screen while the Kobo is connected to PC.

While connected to PC, an icon will be displayed and when enabled, it will say "AUTOSHELF".
note it will only create collections for books that were already in the database, so if you copy new books over, you'll have to let it update database first, and then reconnect to run autoshelf again

alternatively calibre (with addons) can do the same thing for you

Also you can install KOReader to your Kobo which also has proper file navigation. Kobo's original UI (nickel) doesn't have it so going through collections (shelves) is the only way to emulate something similar to it

I agree, why would anyone want something as primitive as a file explorer when there are much better ways to catalogue your books.

I've never used autoshelf as I use Calibre to manage collections on my Kobo. It works very easily and very well.

Have you looked into the new firmware to see if you might want to upgrade the firmware?

You are ordering a bland nothing special Reader just to get a file explorer that you don't need. If that's the reason for buying a the T65s, then you are ripping yourself off. Yes, cancel the order. The Likebook Air uses FBReader and that's a really poor reading app. So do yourself a favor and cancel the order or send it back for a full refund. It's overpriced for what you get. You get a Reader that has mediocre firmware and poor software for reading.

--- AutoShelf ---

Automatically create shelves/collections based on folder structure on the Kobo. This is an alternative to the collection management features in Calibre's Kobo addons.

AutoShelf runs when you unplug the reader from PC; since building the list of shelves can take some time, and applies only to books that Kobo already added to its database, running AutoShelf on disconnect is optional:

You can enable/disable it by tapping the screen while the Kobo is connected to PC.

While connected to PC, an icon will be displayed and when enabled, it will say "AUTOSHELF".

Any shelf created by this addon will end with /. So books in the root directory will be in the '/' shelf, and then there's a 'Harry Potter/' shelf - if you have a subdir for that series. Since there is no shelf-within-shelf feature (or is there?), shelves for deeper structures will end up as 'some/other/shelf/', so you get a flattened view of all subdirs.

It also sets the Series and SeriesNumber properties of books. That way you can see the folder and series number anywhere in the book list. Otherwise it will show the filename.

Note there is a chance this will corrupt your database. Make backups of your .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.

To install, copy KoboRoot-AutoShelf.tgz » .kobo/KoboRoot.tgz

To run AutoShelf, tap the display once while the Kobo is connected to the PC. (Note it will only process books that already are in the Kobo database, so this is an additional step after copying new books on).

To customize behaviour of the addon, there is a config file in .addons/autoshelf/autoshelf.cfg [installed as autoshelf.example.cfg, to be renamed by you]

More about the config file here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...87#post3184887

To uninstall, set uninstall=1 in the config file, then run AutoShelf one more time.

Edit: Update for 4.6.9960 firmware.

Edit: Use fbink instead of pngshow to show image (no other change)

Great!

FBReader for actually reading eBooks is garbage.
