Searching for a specific free ebook directly my kobo gl

galneweinhaw · 01-15-2013, 03:22 AM

Hi!

This seems pretty basic but I 've failed to figure it out. How do I search for the free version of a specific book on my kobo Glo, or on my android kobo app? For example, I want to find a free copy of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty"

I can get it from the kobo website via my phone, but can't figure out on the Android app or directly on my kobo. Kindle app was a breeze. Please don' t tell me I have to use the website...

Thanks!

Well you have sort of said that you don't want to know the answer, but in case anyone else is interested I think the easiest way to get a free copy of Mill's On Liberty directly on the Kobo Glo is to open the Glo's built-in web browser, enter "gutenberg on liberty" into the google search box, and tap the download epub button.

Actually that is very helpful! I didn't realize there was a built in browser. I just don't want to have to go find a computer if I want to search for a new (free =) classic to read. So if I can do it from the kobo, great!

Thanks for the tip!
