For getting book on the device, you can use the browser. It can download book and they will be added to the library. It isn't a great way to get a lot of books onto the device, but it works for a few books at a time.
Hello again David, thank you again for all your help. I did as you said and have the Kobo starting until the setup of WiFi, where it gives me the massage of "Something went wrong". I did some search and tried DHCP Reservation on my router. Tried switching to another IP for the Kobo, played around with the options of WiFi bands and such to no avail. It connects but few seconds after I chose the Time zone and it tells me that it is updating it disconnects and gives the error. I thought about copying the latest firmware to the SD card but ever since I stupidly formatted I have no access to the card through Windows. I am wondering it my only chose now is to boot up a Linux distro from a USB and try koreader/okreader or such. I saw that some people are even making the Kobo like a Linux tablet. I am so angry at myself that all of this started because I naively formatted all of the partitions on the SD card. I can't use Kobo desktop or even connect the Kobo over USB as two of the four ports on the board are damaged. Thank you in advance for any potential tips on where to go from here.
Stefan
