Removing the Percentage Read

[deucalion0]

Good evening all!

I am new to the forum and I felt I would join as I have been reading a lot of the posts the past few days and there seems to be a lot of valuable activity here!

I came across the forum because I am researching how to remove the percentage read from the Kobo display. I was digging around and I see ___PercentRead in the SQLlite database, I was wondering if removing this would solve my problem?

Any help or advice regarding this would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Modifying the database won't help. That column is where the percent read is stored, but it is changed as you read a book. You could add a trigger to set it to zero all the time, but then the device would show "0%" for all books that are being read. You probably need a patch to the display code to remove it.

But, for my curiosity, why? The percent read shows that the book has been started, not finished and gives an idea of how far through the book you are. To me that is useful info. I can't think of a reason to remove it. Or, do you want to remove it from one particular place?

Found the solution just touch the left corner where it say how much time you have left to read it will change the format and there is one where it doesnt display time

Are you talking about on a Kobo device? There is nowhere that has the time left in a "left corner" on a Kobo. Maybe you are thinking about how you Kindle works.

Wrong forum.
You are describing a (recent) Kindle feature in a Kobo forum.
