# My Kobo Nickel Configuration
|
||||
# My Kobo Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Requires [NickelMenu](https://pgaskin.net/NickelMenu/) to be installed.
|
||||
## What is this?
|
||||
|
||||
To use the configuration file, copy the .adds directory to your Kobo device.
|
||||
This repository helps you set up your Kobo just like I set up mine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### NickelMenu
|
||||
|
||||
First, install the latest version of [NickelMenu](https://pgaskin.net/NickelMenu/).
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the `.adds` directory to the root of your `KOBOeReader` volume. This is the configuration for NickelMenu and lets you start `KOReader`.
|
||||
|
||||
### KOReader
|
||||
|
||||
Install the latest release of `KOReader`. You can [download it here](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
### Separating Kobo / KOReader libraries
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure your Kobo doesn't scan certain directories.
|
||||
|
||||
To do this, add the following block to the `.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[FeatureSettings]
|
||||
ExcludeSyncFolders=(calibre|\\.(?!kobo|adobe|calibre).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(This particular configuration ensures that a root-level `calibre` folder won't be scanned by Kobo's operating system.)
|
||||
|
||||
This lets me **sync** my Kobo library via Kobo's UI, and separate it from my sideloaded books, which I copy to the `calibre` folder and read/manage via KOReader.
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot your Kobo. Hold the power button until it has been turned off, then turn it on again.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy over any sideloaded books to the `calibre` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the `fonts` directory and any [extra fonts you like](https://github.com/nicoverbruggen/ebook-fonts/releases) over.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Screensaver
|
||||
|
||||
You can copy the screensaver from `.kobo/screensaver` into the root folder of your Kobo device.
