Hello All!

This is more an observation, though an inquiry to find out if anyone else has experienced the same.

Just started using Kobo Wifi and calibre, the Kobo was a Mother's Day gift for my wife that she NEVER used.

Anyway, I really enjoy using this little device for reading and downloaded calibre to manage a growing collection of ebooks. Almost gave up using calibre for two main reasons. First, not all the books transferred showed up in my Kobo WiFi even though viewing via Finder showed that they were there on the Kobo internal memory. Second, book covers were sometimes there, sometimes not. So using calibre (to me) was futile and I gave it up. Almost.

I reset my Kobo, cleared the internal memory, popped in an SD card and used calibre to sync all my books to the external SD card. Voila! I am able to use calibre to manage all my ebooks the way calibre is meant to be used.

So my observation is that if you use a Kobo WiFi that is discontinued, does not seem to be supported anymore and seems to not play very well with calibre. Then all is not lost, use an external SD card as your main memory and calibre will provide all of the nifty features you have come to love.
