I am trying to get to grips with using Kobo with an iPad, after three years using an original Kob Arc (which still works fine).
Am I correct in thinking with the latest Kobo app you cannot have all your unread books on your device. So far I can only see the book that I am currently reading, to see my library I have to be online.
I also think that with the current Kobo app setup it is not possible to have more than one book open at a time?
However, I visit places where wifi is not available so am looking for away of having unread books on my iPad as per my original Arc.
I tried emailing the books to my iPad via the cloud, then downloading the attachment, my first attempt seems to have failed, the Kobo app on my iPad would not open the book? (need to try again). This could be difficult to confirm as the Kobo app will seemingly only allow one book open at a time, I currently have one book open for reading.
I realise that some of the restrictions with the Kobo app may be due to Apple and the software, in my case IOS 9.2.1.
Some help would be appreciated from anyone who has had a similar iPad experience. (not to heavy on the techie stuff please)
I use Calibre in it's simplest form and Apprentice Alf to remove DRM

Thanks
