My Mom and I both have a Kobo Glo but we each have separate profiles. We tend to read some of the same books and I hate for both of us to have to pay for the same book twice. I hooked up her Kobo and went to where the Kepub files are, copied them and pasted them on the desktop. I ejected her kobo and plugged my kobo in and cut and pasted those files into my Kepub folder of my kobo. Unfortunately, her books are not coming up on my kobo. How do I get her Kepub folders to work on my Kobo?

If the books are DRM free, adding the extension "epub" or "kepub.epub" will allow you to put the books onto her device and have them loaded. The different extensions tell the reader whether to treat the books as epubs or kepubs. If you do this, don't put them under the '.kobo" directory. The device does not look in that directory for sideloaded books. You can also download most of the books as epubs from the Kobo store. If they are DRM free they can be put onto the device. If they have DRM, then they need to go through Adobe DRM to get onto an authorised device. Or you need to handle this DRM in other ways. Finally, you can both use the same Kobo account on both devices. The problems with this are that both devices get all books and if both people are reading the same book, it can get confusing because the reading positions are synced via the Kobo server. If you want to handle it this way, you can probably talk to Kobo about moving the books from one account to another. I have had them do this for me when my account broke and I am fairly sure someone has reported doing it under similar circumstances to yours. |

Not sure if this is a new or old feature, but GestureKeyboard=true activates swipe-like typing -- complete with word prediction and selection.

As it took me a little time to work it out. Any time the keyboard is displayed, drag your finger over the keyboard. A line is drawn for the path your finger takes. It selects the letters that you hesitate on or turn a corner and tries to make a word. When you lift your finger, the possible words will be displayed above the keyboard. The first possibility will be put in the field. Tapping one of the other possibilities will use it instead. |

Is there any way to view the reading stats for a book you've finished?

Code:
[FeatureSettings] BookSpecificStats=true The file is in the directory ".kobo/Kobo". If you are using Windows, do not use Notepad to edit the file. You need an editor that handles Linux style line ends. I use Notepad++ for this. |

Getting to grips with my recently purchased Touch, is there a way to get the book list to display series information & collection information? (Not that I've managed to get the auto shelf management via Calibre to work...)

I hate to say it, the answer is by shelf management! Just make sure that you have the info in calibre, and also that calibre is configured for automatic metadata management.
When you initially connect, send books and disconnect, no series info will be populated. When you RECONNECT then and only then will the Kobo database be updated with the data from the series columns in calibre. Of course, even with this, the books will not be sortable within a collection by series info; this is why many of us (ok... some of us... (ok... I know *I DO*)) use a plugboard to prepend the series name and series index to the book's title. |
