This repository helps you set up your Kobo just like I set up mine.
First, install the latest version of NickelMenu.
Copy the .adds directory to the root of your KOBOeReader volume. This is the configuration for NickelMenu and lets you start KOReader.
Install the latest release of KOReader. You can download it here.
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.
Copy the fonts directory and any extra fonts you like over.
