This patch contains:
  • a utility KPG (Kobo Patch Generator);
  • customizable (via CSS) bottom margin;
  • Leading regulation (aka line spacing, line spacing aka);
  • Wi-Fi is no longer disabled if not used, if the device does not sleep (if sleep - still off);
  • Advanced-settings for any font, including user;
  • regulation of font sizes; - regulation size of the left and right margins.

New version:
  • Kobo Patch Generator has been updated to version 1.1: Added Method Support replace_zlib, small fixes for replace_string, small overall changes;
  • replace_zlib was made ​​possible thanks to the setting of the lower indentation with CSS in firmware 2.8.1 (and above?)
  • for firmware 2.8.1 patch changed the method of Wi-Fi: perhaps now it will be better not to sleep.

How to set a personal patch:
  1. Download archive: http://rghost.ru/48099445
  2. Unpack the archive to a convenient folder.
  3. Transferring files and kpg.conf libnickel.so.1.0.0 for your version of firmware to a convenient folder, where there is kpg.exe.
  4. Any text editor edit the file kpg.conf to your liking and understanding.
  5. Run kpg.exe (preferably in the console) and wait for it to finish.
  6. We transfer the file from KoboRoot.tgz convenient folder to folder. Kobo memory device.
  7. Making the safe shutdown of the device in your OS.
  8. Turning off the device from the USB-Lace.
  9. We wait until the installation is complete, automatic update and reboot the device.
  10. Rejoice.

How to remove personal patch (return-reader in the "factory" condition):

Replace the previous instructions to paragraph 4: "4. Any file with a text editor do kpg.conf empty (or comment out all lines in it)." and execute it.
I thought a thread here where people could post their experiences (and share patch files) might be of use.
