Apparently not.
Kobo ads make no mention of this limitation, that I could find. It is, of course, Kobo's right to limit the sync function to books purchased from them. I understand that. However, I'm afraid that it is a deal-breaker for me, and it disappoints me.
Thanks everyone for the information. You've saved me $AU180, so my wife thanks you too.  |
This was also my problem when I was choosing between the Glo and a PW2. Because I used to read on multiple devices (mostly android devices) and I just use whispersync on books that I sent to the cloud. But storage eventually won out. The Kindle not having expandable storage was my dealbreaker.
