Yes, you can.
First, you must turn on the content server on the Calibre software.
You can then connect to the Calibre content server using the Kobo Touch's web browser. You must go to the following link -
http://yourIPaddress:8080. I have this bookmarked on my Kobo, so I only had to type it the first time.
8080 is the default port that Calibre uses, but you can change this on Calibre if it doesn't work to something else (I use 2020 because my husband uses 8080 and I wanted a quick way to visually see if I'm connecting to his Calibre or mine.)
To find the IP address for your computer (note, this will be different for every computer in your house) do the following:
- from the start menu select "run" (on windows 7, typing "run" into the search box will find the "run" application for you)
- type cmd and click on "ok"
- in the DOS window that pops open, type ipconfig and hit "enter"
- Looking at my husband's XP computer, the IP address is listed beside "IP address". On my Windows 7 machine it's listed beside "IPv4 Address". You need to use this IP address, and not the one that says "Default Gateway".
