two Kobos, two accounts - same books?
My husband's Pocketbook 360 is dying (an epidemic in our household it seems), so he is seriously considering a Mini. I already have a bunch of books bought via Kobo, so the easiest would be for him to attach his kobo to my account, but then annotations, reading statistics etc would be merged, which we would not want.
The only way I can think of making "my" books available on his device (ignore DRM issues, that's ok, we could use the same Adobe ID) is to send the EPUB versions of my books to his device via Calibre (possibly with Joel's plugin to get kepubs - he did not even notice the title bar at the top, but loves the pop-up footnotes ). Is this the only way, or is there a better way? Last edited by Dr. Drib; 05-12-2013 at 10:26 AM. Reason: spelling mistake in title |

I think you're on the right track with what you're thinking. That's the only option I recall seeing used.

Dr. Drib, thanks for correcting the typo, and robko thanks a lot for your comment - as far as I am aware Reading life should work on sideloaded kepub.epub, so at least we can keep track of reading statistics that way.

From what I have been told, there is a privacy issue with sending information about side-loaded books (which very well may have come from providers other than Kobo ) to the Kobo servers.
