Prevent ebook import

bob.f · Today, 05:32 PM

For some reason my libra 2 has started to really dislike large sideloaded batches of books. I'll do a few hundred at a time, all good, then the next batch will cause the import to stall, and then automatically reboot the device. And of course there's next to no information available about what's gone wrong. Don't get me started!

I have koreader installed, which I suspect is fine with large libraries. So I'm wondering if there is a way of loading books that will be seen by koreader, but will not trigger the stock import. I've seen various references to dotfiles being used, but I'm not sure if that is an appropriate solution. Plus I've yet to see a foolproof description

Your Kobo eReader.conf file probably has a line like this:

Code:

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

You could edit it like this:

Code:

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|koreader|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

Put all your books in the .koreader folder, and now Nickel shouldn't try to index them anymore.
