Kobalt v1.0 (beta 1)

on GitHub

First public Kobo beta, using Qt5 on firmware 4.38 and later. Kobalt should work on most devices, but devices older than 10 years might run into issues with memory. Try it out and let me know if Kobalt worked well on your device!

Installation

Download the package for your Kobo firmware:

• Kobalt-qt5.zip for firmware 4.38 and later.

Manual instructions

1. Connect your Kobo over USB and extract the ZIP on your computer. Show hidden files to see .adds and .kobo.
2. Copy .adds to the root of the Kobo drive. Merge folders and replace matching package files. Keep other apps, settings and reading data.
3. Then copy .kobo to the same drive root, merging folders again.
4. Eject the Kobo safely, disconnect USB and let the update install.

Copy both folders in that order. Leave the .tgz file inside .kobo compressed.
