I do wish the user guide had been included (that wasn't on there, either) but I can just download that from the Kobo site. I wonder what the 100 titles were, though...

I have had no problems getting the Gutenberg, Feedbooks, a couple of library books on loan, and a couple of books from Kobo on my device and reading them and such but I have had one other little issue. When I open ADE and plug my Kobo into my computer, I get duplicate error files of several of my (pd) books saying something about the path. I just delete the dups. The books are still there and fine and everything. I just get these error files. Weird. Not too big of a problem unless I get a lot more as I add more books.
i think there's a section here where you can get the sql database file with the 100 preloaded, i could be wrong.
also i have experienced that with ade as well where i'd get duplicates and just manually deleted them, have since stopped using ade to load or sync with my kobo. it's strictly calibre for me now, way easier. i just download the books i buy using ade then add them to my calibre library and load em onto the kobo, everything seems to be in working order...for now !
