Touch Does Reading Life work with non-Kobo books?

Keslynn · 06-19-2011, 11:17 PM

I'm interested in the Kobo Touch for a couple of reasons. Reading Life is one of them. I'm hooked on sticker/reward-type apps (I have the easily amused factor of a 5-year-old) and I'd love being able to track my reading stats. Question is: does Reading Life work on books not purchased from Kobo? I have a ton of epub and mobi files from other sources and it would be a real disappointment if those were not included in my reading stats or wouldn't put me in the running for "rewards."

Any current KT owners willing to check for me?

TIA!

Yes, it works with sideloaded epubs.

I thank you although I think my wallet might not... ;-)

Works for me with Calibre loaded epub books.

I scoffed at the Reading Life features at first but now I am addicted to it. They are strangely compelling, aren't they?

It is good to know that it will work with my other books. Thanks for posting this question.
