# 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.
You can omit the `LICENSE` files, these have been included for legal reasons.

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