I simply click on them in the email and add to them to my kobo library and sync my kobo. So far I've collected 52 books that I would of never thought to go download the epubs for. |
I have at least 5 (loose count after a while)..
The irritation of the device deleting my database and shutting itself down until I go through another dance with them was the straw that broke the cammels back.
I've gone way out of my way, and expense, to support Kobo because "They are not amazon." ( and I don't much like amazon attitude either, but at least they don't regularly show imcompetence.),, but i expect to be met half way.
To be clear, I already own Kindles, so I'm just shelving the Kobo until I feel some irrational desire to play with it again. And if I don't buy the few drm free books available on Kobo anymore, that just means I'll now pay at least 13% less for them. (Thanks to our wonderful government policies, that's the best Kobo can ever achieve on competitive pricing for books, 13% more than the competition eating their lunch.)
