I'm kind of sad about it, but I will get over it... I only notice it when they are observed together side by side... Hers really is strikingly white... the closest to a white sheet of paper I have seen on any device...

David, another question... after I had Koreader working, I wanted to go back to stock to look at my pocket articles — and I clicked Exit... when I did that, it rebooted, and loaded stock with no way back into Koreader and my My Books was filled with hundreds of little images for navigation elements...

Could this be because I didn't put the Kobo eReader.conf file in the right place?? If you remember, I put it in the root, not inside the .kobo subdirectory...

I ended up formatting to factory specs...

I'm a little torn.. I loved the landscape mode, but the little details like changing brightness by sliding up and down on the left edge of screen is far smoother on stock than on koreader... I don't mind the dense interface, but koreader does seem to be less elegant in responsing to touch...

Is this common? Is there a way to improve this? Is kobopatch on top of stock? Would using this preserve the "elegance" of the stock interface? Do you know if I can set orientation using kobopatch?

I haven't read up on this, so perhaps I should before asking the question — but I was here, so... ;-)

That is where you needed the exclusion in the Kobo eReader.conf file in the .kobo/Kobo directory. In the root it does nothing since the software does not look for the file there. If you had added the exclusion later, it would have removed all the extraneous images from your Kobo and you would need to re-add the files.

This is where the script file comes in handy since it does the work for you.

I will have access to a mac and a pc in a couple of weeks as I am currently on vacation... I will try again then using a script...

I read that you can get landscape mode using only Nickel and it persists through FW updates... if this is the case, it might be good enough for me... though I would like to able to trigger orientation toggling and inverted by gesture... but that isn't a hill I need to die on... and I'm pretty happy with the stock Volkorn font extra heavy... it suits my eyes well... I don't know that I need the other more advanced features... I added books converted to kepub through send.djazz.se and it worked fine...

I think landscape mode is the big one for me, and I just want the most elegant way of, preferably, being able to toggle between portrait and landscape with one gesture, and inverting whichever one is currently set with another, or, as good enough, being able to rotate through 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° in series.

This worked perfectly in koreader, but I am still looking for other ways to achieve this with little effort... Getting a script to work from Chrome's Linux sandbox would be great, but I remain quite unclear on how to do it.

Perhaps one of you guys could come up with an article laying this out in step by step fashion?? ��
