Thanks very much for the suggestions. I do know about the apprentices, but can’t do anything there until I have the downloaded books. I shall try again in a couple of days, and also check my ADE.

After some research and tinkering I'll answer my own question :
First, the [FeatureSettings] section was reordered inside the "Kobo eReader.conf " so that it was in the middle of the file instead of at the end but still present. Second, the option works only for folders beginning with a dot located at the root of the kobo as displayed when plugged in a computer. In another word, a dot folder located inside another "regular" folder will not be ignored and its files will be loaded in the library. |

Any solution to this open/close bug? Deleting books from Kobo (too many files)? Not using books on micro SD card? |

Product: Kobo Libra H2O
Firmware: 4.25.15875 Plugins: none, just made a little config tweak to take the screenshots. File types: kepub.epub Sideloaded or from Kobobooks: sideloaded On external SD: nope Steps to reproduce:
This is a visual glitch regarding the top and bottom when mixing, it seems, book chapters or book titles in Hebrew with other information in English, such as pages remaining, time remaining, etc. I've attached 3 screenshots with all the 3 different options for head and footer available on the device. It is usable, just looks unpolished. I imagine something similar will happen with other left-to-right languages, such as Arabic. I'll, gladly, provide more information or test a fix for this. I check the site regularly, on a daily basis. Workaround: n/a Edit: Rewrote the post according to template Last edited by Colonel Cathcart; 01-31-2021 at 05:35 AM. |

You are talking about a mix of information from the book (the title and the chapter name) and the UI (the position information). The latter will always be in whatever language you have the UI set to. Until Kobo adds support for Hebrew or Arabic, it will continue to be like this.
As with all these things, you should report them to Kobo. If enough people ask for support in other languages, they will look at adding it. Of course, it would be much better if there was a company willing to partner with Kobo for the support. That is why most of the recent languages have ben added. |

btw, if I'm not mistaken, Japanese is also written right-to-left. I have done that, via the email in the OP. |

They do support those languages, to a great extent. Hebrew, at least. All the right-to-left book text renders perfectly. Not only that, but also the right-to-left book title and author name on the my books page renders perfectly - it is even right justified as it should. That's more than most products that claim to support Hebrew. This visual bug seems, to me, more of an oversight than an incomplete support for right-to-left languages.
I sure hope they'll fix it, but whether Kobo will fix this in the near future or ever is entirely up to them. I'm just reporting it and hoping for the best. Btw, there's a much MUCH more serious issue with overdrive on the device that I'm experiencing. I need to explore it a bit more before I'm ready to report it just to be 100% sure.

deletion of open book
My Kobo Clara has started deleting the latest book that I open.
These are my own books, that I have added from my computer, rather than bought at the kobo store. Is there a(n easy, non-tecnhical) solution for this? Thank you! |

Occasionally the above does not work. When that happens, you may need to do a factory reset. After that the setup, you will need to add your books again. |
