Kobo Glo HD was working fine with Windows 10 until I updated to the Anniversary edition. Sigh. Kobo showed up as a bogus drive.

No SD card so no joy there.

No problem transferring books to my Kobo from an Android device (albeit a bit clunky).

I used a Samsung tablet (S2), "Explorer" app, USB OTG adapter (converts USB micro to "USB A", the typical port on computers).

1. Connect USB OTG to S2 with Kobo as external storage.
2. Fire up Explorer and select the main storage where books are kept on the Kobo. The Kobo stores books by author, i.e. a folder named "Last, First", with the epub(s) in the folder.
3. Click the + to add a folder, name it LastName, FirstName
4. Add a new tab for the Android file directory.
5. Find the directory where books are kept on the Android. Find the epub file and select and copy it.
6. Go to the new folder you created on the Kobo and paste the epub there.

Way easier than it looks, but it should work on most tablets and phones.

Back to you Microsoft...
