you reset.

They should pay Kovid some real money, because this would be worthless without calibre. Unless you want to manage all your ebooks in the Kobo ecosystem. Is this how
it is for Sony and Kindle users?

It looks like this is going to be my .epub only eReader. I'll be keeping my JBL for everything else (except .pdfs which I read on my 10.1" Tablet).

The Aura HD will get a lot of use, for sure but it is too bad that it is so limited.

The 10,000 files will remain on my computer and on my JBL, but I'll keep a current
selection of around 40 or so run through calibre and on to the Aura.

Luck;

PS; On the shipping invoice it's Brown. For me it takes a lot of light before it doesn't
look Black.
Hi Ken

I use the same method for my Kobo, keep about 50 books on an SD and switch SD when I want a new selection.

The books can be anywhere on the SD by the way, I don't use calibre to transfer books, just add them to the root of an SD and plug it in.
