You can have both ON your calibre. There is a menu item (Kobo Icon in Calibre allows you to switch which is active)
Why not view the thread (first post) on that PI?

Right-click Preferences: Get Plugins: Not installed (if that is your current status): Select the plugin: Down in the lower right corner there is Plugin Home Page
That opens the browser to the MR page for the PI

Whereas I have installed it and find it useful. Different strokes for different folks.

I think they will need to install the Kobo Utilities plugin to get the switch between drivers without needing to manually mark active/disabled.

Sorry am a bit lost there.

All I know is I installed OBok and Kobo Utilities
Which show on the top bar.
And Calibre is working perfectly Love the new layout!
Do I ever have to click on those 2 things then?

For reading in the summer, an eInk Reader is best because it works well in the sunlight 9unless maybe it's a color model).

My Libra Colour works well outdoors. For younger eyes, my granddaughter loves her books on it though I still won't let her hold it to avoid taste testing.

That's when you will need to play with the frontlight settings.
