Some issues with my new Libra 2
Hi all,
After using a kindle for years and not liking the extra glass layer on the new one I bought the Kobo Libra 2. I use Calibre to organise and transfer my books to the reader. Already patched the Home screen to make the covers bigger and get rid of the third row. Also discovered how to get the Series info filles by plugging the reader in again. So far so good. There are some other thinks I couldn't find a working solution:
Software version is 4.30.18838 Hope you have some ideas! Last edited by Teejoo; 12-08-2021 at 10:47 AM. Reason: Typo |

Multiple authors - for a Kobo, they must be formatted "Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child". With a comma, not with &.
The other issues - frankly don't know, as I don't have these issues. Last edited by Sirtel; 12-08-2021 at 01:03 PM. |

Thanks, I will try this. Is there a reason why an e-reader can't handle the & sign?

I got rid of the "tour" junk and the third row on my Libra 2 by patching the software to remove it using Kobopatcher.

Yes. As I want the books in my main library to display the usual &, I created a separate library for copies of those books I send to my Kobos (about a tenth of my whole library). There the authors are separated by comma.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to work correctly for me. It treats it as a single name. Which then makes the Author Sort incorrect. Will it be incorrect in Kobo also?

Edit: yes, I checked on my Sage. That's the way it works on a Kobo. Last edited by Sirtel; 12-08-2021 at 05:18 PM. |

It would be nice if there was an auto-substitute when transferring the book and metadata. Maybe it could be an option in Kobo Utilities? Is that possible @davidfor? |

I guess you could use a metadata plugboard for this. But I don't know what the template would be.

Whrn you delted the third row on the homescreen, did the other rows reformatted to fill the space or is the third row just went blank with the other rows remaining the same size?
