Swapped my Kobo with an InkPad Color - suffered some difficulties :(
Changed my Kobo Aura H2O V2 today for a PB 741 (FW U741.6.7-1712).
Customizing the InkPadf gives me some trouble. Please help with these issues:
1. PB 741 is set to open last read books on startup but always comes up with the start page. What did I do wrong?
2. Can't show the device's complete directory on my Windows 10 PC. How can I install custom fonts (e.g. Georgia) when 'Fonts'-Directory can't be seen?
3. Can't get my JBL Tune 225TWS earphones paired with the InkPad. Any ideas?

Regards
Georg

Welcome to the Pocketbook world.
1) Don't know, should work, is working with all my Pocketbook devices. If it is a firmware issue, contact them f.i. via https://www.e-reader-forum.de/f/pocketbook.167/
2) SetUp your windows explorer to show hidden directories.
3) There might be a way via terminal (has to be installed on the PB) and bluetoothctl but it is quite complicated. Here is a tutorial for tricking the device into accepting a bluetooth keyboard:

The biggest downside to Pocketbook (IMHO) is that you cannot up the weight of fonts without doing so in a font editor for side loaded fonts.

IMHO, I don't see how this answers any of the OP's questions.

Recognized this fact and installed KoReader on the PB. Solved the issue but seems to cause additional battery drain...
