adding your downloaded books via calibre
hi,
haven't got my box yet, its a christmas present so another couple of weeks been reading a lot on this forum and hopefully someone can answer a small query. If I download any books i buy from kobo (adobe drm copy) and add these into calibre, i understand i can't open them in calibre which is not an issue can I use calibre to send these books to my box and read them on there, or does the drm block this also just for ease of use and cataloguing i was thinking of adding all my books into calibre, don't want to read in here just store them |

The Kobo app on the Vox will not read books with Adobe DRM, but Aldiko, and other reading apps will. If you have Aldiko on your device, Aldiko will be seen as a device by ADE, btw.
There is a Calibre driver being used for the Vox. It will transfer books from Calibre to your Vox. You will then import the book into whatever app you are using. You can also add your Calibre library books to the Vox by using the Calibre server. Last edited by taming; 12-10-2011 at 07:44 AM. |

I have all my books in Calibre as well. Some people have the Calibre library in dropbox, btw. That gives you another way to get the books from Calibre to your Vox.
