Kobo Frustration

crappycat · 12-03-2017, 08:32 AM

Hello Folks
Can you help a not-very tech savvy wrinkly?I have a Kindle and I also use Kobo to purchase ebooks.I was able (until a short time ago) to transfer the books from my on-line Kobo Library to Calibre for transferring to my Kindle- But- the ability to do this seems to have either changed or has been rescinded by Kobo as the ability to Export from my library is missing.
Is this just me being a wally or have the systems changed.
I am using windows 10 on a laptop.
Any help or advice would be appreciated
regards

I haven't had any problems downloading books I have purchased from my library on the Kobo store. I just go the "My Books", find the book click the three dots on the line and select "Download". Then it displays a prompt with the cover and whether it has DRM. Click the "Download file" button on that and the browser takes over and downloads either the epub, or the ACSM file for ADE.

What is the problem you are seeing?

Might help to know the exact process you're used to using, but I'm having no problems downloading my books (I use the same process davidfor describes above).

The old kobo library setup (with it's convenient one click download buttons) disappeared this weekend :-( but as stated above if you check under 'My Account' and go to 'My Books' and then click on the three dots you should be able to download your books.
