What? I have never used a kobo account, WiFi, or the store. Always just plugged into computer via usb and transferred files. No fancy folders or restrictions or anything. The ebook becomes a drag and drop HD.
This is true with my Kobo Forma as well as the last one I owned years ago. Forget the name.
- ajot 5y agoI own a Kobo H2O since 2017, I could never bypass the asking for an account on the first run. This includes the time I had to change the internal microSD for a new one flashed with an image from the mobileread forums. Frankly, I don't really care that much, as I only run KOreader without ever loading Nickel (Kobo's firmware name).
- bsilvereagle 5y agoBypassing the account creation requires plugging the ereader into a computer at the account creation screen, opening a hidden SQLite database, and adding a fake row. This breaks OverDrive access and obviously access to the Kobo store. https://remy.grunblatt.org/kobo-aura-h2o-electronic-reader-hacking.html https://remy.grunblatt.org/kobo-aura-h2o-electronic-reader-h...
- ajot 5y agoTIL, thank you very much! If I ever have to replace my ereader I'll definitely ditch my account and bypass this. I can't edit my previous comment, but as to keep in context, I always could "sideload" books and files to it, even before installing KOreader.
