# Kobo Reader Web portal
|
|
This repo aims to create a quick and easy web portal for Kobo E-ink devices, it includes a search bar for DuckDuckGo and some common sites that are usable on the limited web browser.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
1. Copy this repository to your Kobo device. It is recommended to create a new folder in `.adds`, in this case I have named it `web`.
|
|
2. Add the following to `.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf` to prevent Nickel from adding the `.html` and `.svg` files to your library
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[FeatureSettings]
|
|
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
|
|
```
|
|
3. Open the web browser in Nickel, browse to `file:///mnt/onboard/.adds/web/html/index.html` and set it as your start page using the context menu or continue to [setup with Nickelmenu](#nickelmenu-setup)
|
|
|
|
### NickelMenu setup
|
|
For easier access, add the web browser to [NickelMenu](https://pgaskin.net/NickelMenu/) by putting the following in `.adds/nm/config`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
menu_item:main:Web Browser:nickel_browser:file:///mnt/onboard/.adds/web/html/index.html
|
|
menu_item:browser:Close:nickel_misc:home
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will open the web browser in full screen which is nice, however, you won't be able to close it without rebooting your device. The second line adds a `Close` button in the browser menu to go back to the home screen.
|
|
|
|
> :note: **Heads up:**<br>
|
|
> Remember to change the path in the first line if you choose to put the contents of this repository somewhere else.
