I hear lot's of problems with people that try to do this and that rather just use 100% Kobo.. hey.. if you own a Kindle (as I do) and try to shove all the books on a Kobo or others, you are asking for problems.. plain and simple.. why not just buy or use multiple devices.. ? these ereaders are cheap! I hope this makes sense..
If you read above, they have not done anything that is not supported by the device and is not in the ways Kobo say you can use the device. The Glo supports reading mobi files. The device supports sideloading books. The device supports ePub books. This is part of Kobo strategy for selling the devices. The problem is that the mobi support is not the best. Some mobi files work well, some don't. Converting them to ePub usually works better. And ePub is very well supported by Kobo on their devices.
