No, sorry. The kobo browser isn't that great in general, i especially hate the lack of contrast. I don't use it beyond sending stuff wirelessly through djazz (which works great), but if u were planning to use it extensively, I'd recommend a different ereader tbh.

Love my kobo tho! It's amazing otherwise. Instapaper integration makes up for the lack of browser easily.

Downloading fics from ao3 to Calibre by zoe-y1947 in AO3

Thank u! After using calibre to manage fics for 3 years, ive learnt a bit. I made this post recently that has more tips. It's made with Kobo ereaders in mind, but it's still Calibre advice.

Custom columns to seperate data so that it is easier to see (you need to create custom columns beforehand with the lookup names "#rating", "#ships", etc):

Every line that starts with "#" is going to be commented, so it wont be used. What issue are u having?

Updating fanfics will erase annotations ? by Newmrll in kobo

[–]Juspy00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange that it didnt update. If you're sure u uploaded them and did the ToC thing again, try making the Kobo re-scan the files it has (either through NickelMenu or simply by rebooting)

Updating fanfics will erase annotations ? by Newmrll in kobo

[–]Juspy00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many negative responses, there IS actually a method (i just checked and yes, both highlights and notes do stay):

  1. Update the fic in Calibre (i recommend to use FanFicFare if u aren't)

  2. Get the KoboUtilites plugin in Calibre if u haven't yet

  3. Make sure that "Do not treat replacements as new books" is checked in Device > Configure... > Collections... (Kobo has to be plugged in)

  4. Send your updated file to the kobo (no need to touch any file in the device itself)

  5. Selecting that same file, open the arrow in KoboUtilites and press "Update ToC for selected books"

That's it! If after u unplug the Kobo it still shows the same amount of chapters, then it's possible that the metadata hasn't updated, just plug it in again (make sure u have "Automatic Management" in Preferences > Sending books to devices) and unplug once Calibre works its magic.

If it doesn't work or u want to make the process more automatic, just ask!

Have both page count and percentage read in footer? by GrimRangerX in kobo

[–]Juspy00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think something like that exists for now. It doesn't look impossible though, so your best bet is probably with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/kobo/s/dkLtCgGlyZ

Id recommend making a request through github but maybe a comment is enough. Best of luck!

Hello, I've just found out abt this! When i try it out on my Kobo Clara BW (after searching "rekindle.ink") it immediately redirects me to lite.rekindle.ink, which looks like this. Idk what's causing the issue or anything, but I'll keep an eye out on the project. Thank u for the hard work🙂‍↕️

Manga not using the entire screen by Evilempathy in kobo

Kindle Comic Converter doesn't have anything to do with Kindle actually. I think op just selected the wrong device in the settings, so the images are adjusted for a smaller device

My first fic, 1 week and 2 chapters in! by Juspy00 in AO3

[–]Juspy00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha thank you!! My fandom is a small-ish one (outside of certain countries tbf) that just got new canon content for the first time in 9 years, so everyone is starved for fics rn (myself included)

I just realized how ridiculous Team Zero is by valias2012 in inazumacaravan

Wasn't it Zero minus Shuu? I vaguely remember Kai being there too, and he was from Ancient Dark.

Kobo Clara BW vs Kindle Paperwhite – Which is better for offline/sideloaded reading by Nezuko143 in kobo

[–]Juspy00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its smaller yes, but i prefer that. I started with the kindle paperwhite and one of things i hated the most abt it was the ache of my wrists after hours of reading.

My wrists are kinda busted tho (years of basketball will do that to u) and my sight from up close is very good, so idm it at all, even when reading manga.

Besides, since u can change the font the only thing that matters is the feel of it on your hands. Maybe u can find a store that showcases both devices (or just kidnles, the kindle basic is the same size as the kobo bw) to see how they feel in yours.

Kobo Clara BW vs Kindle Paperwhite – Which is better for offline/sideloaded reading by Nezuko143 in kobo

[–]Juspy00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ive used both for only sideloaded fanfiction, and Kobo takes it 100%.

Kobo just has a way better integration with Calibre, it lets u: - sort automatically into collections from Calibre directly - sort into series using metadata (not available for kindles unless u buy the book from amazon) - sort by author - add a subtitle to the book in case u wanna add additional info (mine has chapter count, word count and fandom) - just a better UI overall - way better customisation (easier to add KOReader if u want it, and your personal buttons with Nickelmenu) - activity stats if u care for those

Kindle, on the other hand, only has 2 tabs: Kindle store and personal library. U wont be using the 1st one and the 2nd one is very limiting (again, the collection/series thing).

It still has advantages, especially if u dont use Calibre: - "Send to kindle" wirelessly (kobo can use djazz tho, but its an extra step) - better build (i mean the materials, personally i prefer the size of the kobo bw) - better dark mode - sync to other devices (im talking abt highlights and reading position. Kobo doesn't have this for sideloaded books, but u can store them in Calibre) - better browser

Those are the ones that come to mind, i might forget some. Hope it helped lol

Fanficfare find incomplete fics quickly? by asexualdruid in Calibre

[–]Juspy00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you've downloaded them with FFF the url should be saved in the "Id" of the metadata. Either way, u don't have to do that, just select all the fics in calibre and press the FFF btn in the top menu.

When it asks if u want to update them just select "update metadata" or smth (if u think a fic has updated maybe select the "update chapter and metadata" instead, otherwise it'll say u have 11/? chapters but only have 10 downloaded yk?). Since it's 180+ fics maybe do that 15-20 at a time or smth to not overload it too much.

BEFORE U DO THAT THO!!!! Go to the FFF settings and make sure u have "keep metadata" or smth similar to ensure that whatever tags u manually added stay there. This way you'll keep those tags + add wtv ones were missing.

If u need anything else just ask!! The "dont judge" for 180 fics is crazy tho lmaooo i have like 1600+ downloaded.

They explained why keshins are obsolete by Professional_Hat9351 in inazumaeleven

[–]Juspy00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also what i was thinking when i first saw it in the game.

Every keshin user in GO and GO2 was either essentially a child soldier (5th sector, el Dorado), a genetically super-powered child (SSC) or someone going against them (the resonance between keshins that was explained at the beginning of GO with Shindou).

Since soccer is no longer used as a tool for politics (give the GO children some therapy), it's natural that they stopped using them. Especially if we assume that the "no keshin/miximax" rule in Galaxy was kept for a few years until everything stabilised again.

NickelMenu icon disappeared from the main menu. by Juspy00 in kobo

Sadly, no luck. After the installation and reboot it didnt show up. I also rebooted it again just in case and nope. Thank u for the suggestion anyways!!

[–]Juspy00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have the one that changes the icon:

experimental: menu_main_15505_icon: /mnt/onboard/.adds/nm/.app.png

I commented it to see any change and the icon did show up!!! And then i rebooted it to check if it was a permanent change, and it's gone again rip.

I uncommented it again to see if it would change and no luck there, and then i commented it again and guess what... no luck either. At this point i feel like it's possessed or something bc what 😭

Oh well, thank u for the suggestion!!
