And where can I see that the space is checked before unpacking the package? |

I checked before my post with my N905 Touch. When I had 100MB left, it downloaded the update, but didn't unpack it and displayed an error. When I reduced it to 50MB, it gave the error immediately when it found the update. I didn't write it down, but scanning through the strings in nickel, I think it was "To make space on your eReader for this update, please remove some books or dictionaries.". |

One more question: Did the un-unpacked zip file have the same file name as it was in the download link? |

The firmware update downloaded as the same name in the link. When it downloaded and there wasn't enough space to unpack it, the message "Please remove some books or dictionaries to make space for this update to complete." was displayed. I was using telnet to check for the file name and it disappeared when the message was displayed. For sideloading the update, it does have to be unpacked first. I've tested that before. Not deliberately, just forgot to unpack the file. |

New `Force user line spacing in ePubs` patch.
This patch prevents the EPUB reader from recognising the line-height or font styles, which should make it impossible for the publisher to override the line spacing set from the device's adjustment slider. It will have bad effects on the formatting of many ePubs, the same as stripping the line-height and font styles during a calibre conversion does.
I don't recommend using this patch, but for those of you who are already taking the drastic step of routinely stripping line-height and font styles with Calibre before slideloading the book, this alternative is no worse and should also work for DRM ePubs. The patch is in two parts, both parts must be enabled for the patch to work: Part 1 (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
Part 2 (paste into librmsdk.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
This patch should also work with older firmware versions as far back as 3.3.0. If using it with versions 3.15.0 or earlier make sure part 1 appears in libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch after the `Unitless ePub line height` patch. This patch is not compatible with the old `Enforce user line spacing in ePubs` patch. (That patch is not very effective in current firmware versions, I'll delete it in future versions unless someone still finds it useful.) Edit: Note that the font style is a shorthand that sets other styles as well as line-height. It is not used in ePubs very much, but on those occasions where it is this patch will probably have much worse effects on the formatting than usual. If you want to allow the font style to be recognised, which could prevent the user line spacing working just on those uncommon ePubs which have this style, you can comment out the last two lines (find_base_address and replace_string) in part 2 of the patch. Edit2: To those of you who use it: Is it best to block line-height and font by default, or should the patch just block line-height and leave the blocking of font as an option?

I think it is because when the update is downloaded, it must be extracted in order to do the install, so at that moment it need double space..the space for the zip,and for the extracted files..

Thank you, DNSB! According to Davidfor's observations, there are two cases. 1) If there is very few space left, the update package is not downloaded at all. 2) If there is more space left but still less than needed for unpacking, the update package is downloaded and afterwards deleted. (This description is a little unfair, I know!). Ah, and then there is the third case: Everything goes well.
