# BYPASSING REGISTRATION AND LOGIN ON NEW DEVICE
|
|
|
|
Plug in new Kobo Device via USB to Linux Computer.
|
|
|
|
Mount the device:
|
|
|
|
doas mount /dev/sda /mnt/media/kobo
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the device folder and then enter the .kobo subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
cd .kobo
|
|
|
|
As root, open up the KoboReader.sqlite database:
|
|
|
|
sqlite3 KoboReader.sqlite
|
|
|
|
And then enter the following SQL command:
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO user(UserId,UserKey) VALUES('1','');
|
|
|
|
Then Quit:
|
|
|
|
.q
|
|
|
|
Exit Root:
|
|
|
|
exit
|
|
|
|
And then navigate to your home directory and unmount the kobo:
|
|
|
|
doas umount /mnt/media/kobo
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to access the Kobo interface without having to register your Kobo.

|
## Converting to Kepub format
|
|
|
|
Many of the books you'll find around are in .epub format, but some books have a hard time loading
|
|
and/or freeze the kobo device in this format. Best practice is to convert it to kobo's proprietary format .kepub.
|
|
This can be accomplished using the [calibre software](https://calibre-ebook.com/download), which you can download
|
|
from your Artix's repos in the extra mirrors. You'll need to also get some plugins to automatically convert it.
|
|
See [this github repo](https://github.com/jgoguen/calibre-kobo-driver) on how to install plugins. Once done, ALWAYS
|
|
mount your kobo device using calibre and copy the .epub files to the kobo directly, this will automatically convert
|
|
it if you use the KoboTouchExtended plugin specifically (though all kobo and kepub plugins are encouraged to be installed.)
