I am new in this forum.

Here is my story. I bought a second hand kobo mini.

I made the connection with the Windows kodo desktop (wifi is obviously not working because of the new upgrade). I could buy some books from kobo, upload them, could see them on my kobo. No problem until now...

BUT...

My problem is to upload free ebooks from Project gutenberg and similar free classical ebook websites.

I am unable to add this kind of epub to my kobo. I mean I could drag and drop them (somewhere as I used to do with my old classic 1st gen kobo that doesn't work anymore) but don't know where to exactly put them to be able to see/read them on my kobo. Any help??

Can anyone tell me if I can do this? if Yes, under which repertory/Folder?
If NO, how can I manage this (knowing that I tried with calibre, but it seems to me its not compatible with the new Kobo upgrade/firmware)?
Basically, don't put the ebooks in a directory with a '.' as the first character of the name. I'd suggest creating a directory called ebooks and storing your ebook files in that directory.

As for the firmware compatibility, you can use the Attempt to support newer firmware option in the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended driver. Check the "Metadata, on device & advanced" tab in the attached image.
