Hello everyone. Normal here. First time posting on MR, but am a long time lurker and reader. Little preface before starting this; I have been on kindle for most of my life and have finally wanted to break free from the amazon hold on me not really "owning" my books that were bought digitally. I am aware from home quite a bit for work and having my eBooks there with me on flights really helps me stay sane ha
I am writing this as if I just opened up the device. I have gone with the Libra H2O.
1. Sign in to a Kobo account and get new device prompts taken care of.
2. Plug in Kobo into PC and open Calibre.
3. Run start up wizard in Calibre and select the device as the "Kobo Vox, Aura and Glo" Family.
3. Install Plug-In(s) -
KoboTouchExtended, This will convert the EPUBs to KEPUBs automatically when sending to the kobo device.[/LIST][/B]
4. Convert AZW3 (no DRM of course) to EPUB using onboard converting tool within Calibre.
5. Press "send to device" main memory.
As I understand things right now, I just wanted to make sure of some things before getting started on the steps listed above.
1. For metadata, since this is a Kobo device, do you use google metadata or Kobo metadata now? Before I was using both Amazon and Google data for my books.
2. Book covers are going to vary in sizes, so does Kobo automatically make the book covers the same size when transferring books over? Or will I need to install another plug in to make the book covers the same size?
