I would just use a cell phone stand that is adjustable. The Kobos I've seen are not that big.

The only problem I have is the font sizes come out on my Kobo Aura H2O in lots of different sizes. I think I have my options set to "use EPUB font" but the font size is the same in the Kobo options....

Your charger may not provide enough amps to your Kobo. Use a better charger, and use it to charge ONLY the Kobo so the Kobo is the only thing charged at that time. I've had weird stuff happen to me...

If the USB port gets bent enough it can disconnect from the circuit board. This happened to me with a power bank. It was easy to fix for me since I know soldering and I fixed a USB A port, but those...

@JSwolf, I see the Kobo Aura h2o is splashproof. That's a plus. I'll look into that. Do all Kobos support EPUB natively?

Thanks. I was also leaning towards a dead battery. I think it's the original battery.

What other smaller Sony readers support Epub natively? And I'd like to sideload books too.

How about any...

Another EPUB validator?

Is there another EPUB validator besides the IDPF one? The IDPF validator error messages are pretty cryptic and don't really indicate things to look for.

Thank you. :)

One file per chapter is better because on the older ereaders each chapter can only be 300kb long. Plus on the Moon Reader, at the beginning of a file/chapter, the text begins on a new "screen/page".

Nope. I have another EPUB made like that from another program that validates just fine.

I'm not using Sigil anymore so I took it out of my sig.
