Hi,

I suggest you do this procedure using a computer.

I don't know if this is unique to Apple devices and the Safari browser, but just wanted to send out a little warning.

This morning I got my transfer link via e-mail and went through the procedure of transferring my Sony library to my Kobo account. I did all of this on my iPad, using the Safari browser. After this was done, I ended up on a page in my browser with detailed lists of the books which did and did not transfer. The web pages said to print for your records, which I did. What came out was 2 pages of mostly solid black ink. The book titles did not show up, although I could see the authors' names, so this will be somewhat helpful. If you leave that page, you will not be able to get it back. I was going to try to copy/paste the contents of the page to a notepad, but I wasn't successful and ended up navigating off the page, so it's gone.

Other than that...lost 12 books, but they were freebies and I still do have copies on a PC hard drive.

I just wanted to warn people about the above scenario and maybe save someone else using up a whole bunch of black ink.
