Would you be willing to explain a bit about what "tighter Calibre integration" means for a newbie? I just got a Libra 2, but I don't know how the Calibre experience differs between Kobo and Kindle devices. What new features did you get?

You can also back up the database of your Kobo with Calibre, so that things like reading status won't get lost if you reset your Kobo for some reason. Last edited by Sirtel; 09-10-2022 at 08:48 PM. |

I hope you will forgive the novice questions, but how does that differ from merely dragging and dropping e-books onto the Kobo, since it shows up as a simple USB drive? As I understand it, you can copy/paste e-books onto the device manually, and the Kobo will update its databases automatically to add the new books when you unmount it, right?

.kobo/BookReader.sqlite and .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite (or the entire .kobo folder) to your PC for safe keeping, and then replacing them later after resetting your Kobo? |

Of course, if you don't use Calibre to manage your library, then there won't be any difference whether it's a Kindle or a Kobo. Dragging and dropping via the file explorer works the same way on both. But you cannot change the book data on the device without deleting and re-copying the files. |

Thanks for the help. Since I only have one book, I didn't know what Collections were, so I found Kobo's help page for that. I guess my library has a ways to go before I'd need to consider organising it with Calibre.
