Aura HD side loading of Epub.
So, many moons ago, when I had my first Kobo, side loading books caused it to become very unstable.
Basically, it'd crashed and reset. I now have the HD, and I came across a few Epubs (Black Library) that I'd like to side load. Any reported problems with this? Become more stable? thoughts? Thanks everyone. Mikey |

Looking at my Glo, I have 66 books from Kobo and 537 sideloaded. At least 500 of those will be epubs. The Glo uses exactly the same firmware as the Aura HD. The only issues you will have is if there are errors in the books you are sideloading. And at the moment, I think that will cause the books not to be loaded into the library rather than crashing the device.

The only kind of books I have on my Aura HD are sideloaded epubs. So far I haven't encountered any issues.
