In the current firmware, if the book has annotations, the menu for the book in the library list will have "Annotations" as an item.

As to the Kindle preview feature, I don't know what it is, so I don't know if the Kobo devices have it or not. But, I suspect they don't.

Hey. Is it possible to make a downloaded not from their store books work properly? I mostly mean auto translation by tapping. Can't even find the legal books in the root.
Thx in advance^^.

From my testing the browser will download any format that I have tried with no problems. The extension has to be set to a type the device can handle before it will do anything. Then, when you select the download link it will prompt whether you want to download the file. If you answer yes, it will download the file in the background. When finished, it prompts you whether to open the book or simply save it. In either case, the book is put in the root directory of the device and added to the library.

The only problem I can think of is that if you cancel the download at the first prompt, the downloads will not work at all until you restart the browser.

Do remember that if the book is ADE DRM protected that you can't download directly from a store; the direct download will just get an ACSM file that has to be processed via ADE to get the actual ePub.

Cool

Whenever I transfer ebooks from Calibre to KOBO H2O they are converted to kepub, even if I explicitely choose the epub format in the options of the driver.
What am I doing wrong?

... and restart Calibre. Whenever I activate/deactivate it, I have to do that for it to take effect.

I load anything with pictures, maps, etc., on as BOTH a kepub AND an epub; but everything else I just load straight epub...

Kobo's image viewer IS useful!

I preferred epub because ofa better hyphenation. But now, with firmware 3.16 things changed since hyphenation dramatically improved, so I changed over to kepubs which offer more options.

I was kepub too until 3.16, the hyphenation (in french) is now all correct and they are on pair in terms of pages turning. The kepubs have stats, etc. but after a certain time I found myself not care about it at all. I bought the device to read and everything which is not reading takes less and less importance to me after a time - like the screensaver since I bought a sleepcover

Question


Hi!

I used to tune "Kobo eReader.conf" on Kobo Aura H20 and turn on hyphenation for epub files. It worked great until I had to do factory reset for problematic upgrade to 3.17.

Now I can't find the proper config string for this. Help, please

Anyone know of a shortcut to 'skip to the end' rather then going to the last chapter and then page by page?
you can use the location slider within the book, or just find the book in your library>books select options (long press) and click "mark as finished"

Does anyone knows how to disable the "recommended" books tile appearing in the main screen ? Which address do I have to block? Option to disable ?

Thank you very much

Long press on a tile, dismiss tile.
another way is by calibre [GUI Plugin] Kobo Utilities.

Yes I can dismiss it but I want to make it to never appear on my screen. I use Kobo Utilies but I did not know that I could do that with it. Thanks
