Edit quotes
Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the quotes that appear when a book is loading?
I love my Kobo, but for some reason the 'default' quotes piss me off. I'd like to delete some and add a few more. Anyone else feel the same way? Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance! |

I have looked and so far have not found anything.
It does not appear to be in the sqlite database anywhere. Also I have checked all of the files on the Kobo with no luck. It must be something in the firmware, and as such, cannot be changed at this time. I was hoping to change them as well but it does not look possible. |

That would be awesome if you could, probably has something to do with the sq-lite database... but worse case the quotes are stored in the firmware... i wonder if kobo will put new quotes when they update the firmware.

Not in the SQLite; I think you will find it is in the firmware itself.

Forgive my newbiness, but is it possible to manually edit firmware? I didn't hold much hope of their been an easy way to change the quotes, the kobo seems to very hard to customise. I guess I could just wait (and hope) for the firmware update or check back here in a few months and see if some tech genius has found a solution.
With such a wealth of influential men and women in the history world you would think that they could find more than 5 or 6 quotes, blagh. |

Once the first firmware update gets here in a couple weeks, we might be able to peek under the hood of the 'updater' and gain some insights into accomplishing something like this. |

I would be surprised if they don't add new quotes with the upcoming firmware update.
I bet the software devs at Kobo are getting tired of "I have been on the verge of being an angel all my life, but it's never happened yet" too! |
