Annotations backup and restore has never been something I have been interested in as I don't use them in that way. They are in the database, so dumping the rows from that can be done. For epubs, they are also in the RMSDK annotations directory and those files can be backed up and restored. Both of these have issues as you need to make sure file names match the books. |

On the initial signup for a new device, Kobo offers Walmart (even though I didn't buy from them), Facebook, Google, Kobo, or a list of other accounts. But they don't offer me to use an email address from outside any of those services, be it Yahoo or whatever other provider, or my own domain. Is there no way around that?
If I want to buy Kobo books that sync with the device, must the device use a Kobo account that I've initiated the device with? People here have mentioned burner accounts, which I probably won't end up using, but how can one do that if there's no way to bypass the domains the device's OS gives us to choose from? Hopefully, I'm missing something. EDIT: It may be that I can tap Kobo and enter whatever email address I choose there to create a new Kobo account. So it appears. Would that then work as the account that I'd buy books with if I so choose? I'm a tinkerer, but don't want to permanently force myself down a road that I'd ultimately not want to be on, so I'm asking for that reason. Last edited by mirage; 06-18-2020 at 02:29 PM. |

Just setup a valid account at Kobo and use that to register your Reader. It's the easiest solution. Also if you want to purchase any eBooks or use Overdrive (on the Kobo if the Kobo you have supports Overdrive), you can. |

I have an Aura HD that I rather like. Recently I have sometimes found icons difficult to activate - having to touch them multiple times in various ways.
Firmware is up to date. A couple of years ago my Kobo was immersed in a bucket of water but I poured into it pure alcohol and then water dispersant and after a couple of hours in the sun it worked fine . So I don't think that is the problem. Could the touch screen be becoming less sensitive? Any thoughts? Any work arounds? Cheers |

It could be dirt under the bezel. That can block the beams. If you clean under the bezel, it will probably help. The only other thing I can think of is the internal SD card failing. That can cause slowdown for various actions. Replacing that and reimaging the card can give these devices a new lease on life. There is of course another answer: The device is toast and you cannot do anything about it. The only thing you can do is buy a new ereader. The Libra H2O would be a good replacement. Though the Forma is great if you want a larger device. You can use that answer if you need to justify to someone buying a new device. We know you want to |

Will somebody pass on some good advice?
The Kobo Glo HD is my second Kobo. Installing koreader on the older one was not exactly painless, but it resolved eventually. Software was 4.2.xxx I believe. This one is refusing all advances. The trigger-files do not work. I have reset it 11 times now and used both the recent and authoritative "way"- https://github.com/koreader/koreader...mportant-notes - and older methods, in that order - but only when I copied a saved copy of the installation from the old Kobo was there a glimpse of koreader folders, but it was instantly replaced by a demand to correspond the email address on the kobo to my new account, which causes the deletion of the koreader installation... (can only use the new email now). NickelMenu is in the bottom right corner - from the first attempts, but it supposedly should not work below FW 4.6... - and it says config error, when touched. And NickelMenu lingers through the factory reset?! I am out of ways to try the install. Could I somehow clear out the whole content via USB or some other way, and Really start over?

If you are using the One-Click install method, are you following the instructions in the second message in the thread? Last edited by DNSB; 12-06-2020 at 01:33 PM. |

If I understand correctly, Kobo eReaders run a modified version of Linux-based OS.
Is there a guide on how to run scripts on a schedule from within the device? I'd like to have a way to sync particular folders (or the entire storage) on device every night using git. I tried searching the forum for "git", but didn't find anything, really. |
