Ken,
I just did an installation of Koreader on an Aura HD that had a factory reset done on it. Your directions in the OP were nearly perfect. Between steps 6 & 7 you need to copy the vlasovsoft folder to the .kobo folder. Other than that they work perfectly. Jim |

Any PDF will work as long as it uses either the standard Adobe DRM or no DRM at all. If it uses Adobe's DRM you would have to use ADE to associate your device with your Adobe account.

The Kobo devices are the same worldwide. The firmware they run is the same world wide except for timing and some affiliates. Kobo release the firmware slowly around the world so it can take a month before everyone gets it. Some affiliates don't take all firmware. This mainly affects Japanese users as they seem to get every third or fourth update. The affiliate is decided based on your initial setup of your device and account. But, it can be easily changed. |

I'm going to take a guess that it means "you can sideload your own PDFs all you like, but don't whinge to Kobo Support if you don't get the reading experience you want with them."

Reading scientific papers will not give you a good experience on a Kobo compared to reading them on a tablet. Whether or not it will give you an acceptable experience for your tastes/purposes is up to you. I wouldn't do it in a pink fit.

Just make a hidden folder, one that has a name that starts with a dot/period, like .pdfs and place you sideloads there. There is a detailed decription of the process in the first post as well as how it can be done with calibre. Luck; Ken |

If you are not intending to use the Kobo software, than any claims someone makes about how that software works is immaterial to you. That claim is crap. But, it is claim about how nickel works. If you use KOReader, then you need to look at what that claims to be able to do and decide if it is actually suitable for your usage.
