New H2O How to bypass setup

Maillemom · 01-17-2015, 01:03 PM

Good Afternoon - I recently purchased an H2O and want to set it up however I don't want to register it. I have a 32GB card with many books and just want to read.

I can't seem to find a way to bypass the setup after I select my time zone. Is it possible to use the device without registration?

Thanks in advance.

You can connect to usb, mount, then insert a fictional user entry in the .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite

The procedure is already described here somewhere... something like (not tested)

Code:

INSERT INTO user (UserID, UserKey, UserDisplayName, UserEmail) VALUES ('a','a','a','a@a');

Just would like to mention that KSM 06, with update 01b can do this for you.
