Glo How to sideload books please.

moofychops · 04-15-2015, 03:03 PM

Hello,
I have an Aura and a Kobo Glo, and wish to sideload books into its memory. However can you please tell me into which folder do I paste them into. The two files I see are Kobo and Keypub which already has a lot of books in it (bought) downloaded directly by Kobo.
Thank you all in anticipation.

Create a folder in the main directory, and paste there.

Or use Calibre and just click send button after adding book to the Calibre (by draging&droping to the Calibre window).

Hi GERGE,
Thank you for your advice. I could not find which file you meant, so I have loaded 'Calibre' and have downloaded the books to that and then to the kobo.
Thanks Again.

You can actually drop them pretty much anywhere on the device EXCEPT in a directory that starts with a period (they are hidden from the device as system directories). Most people will create some sort of folder to put the books in if only for sanity in organization. Note that the device itself won't use the folders (all books will be shown together in the library).
