(not a recommendation, just the first one that came up in my search)
If I buy that, I won't want to have to unplug it every time I want to add books (which I do manually as well, I don't like using Calibre to manage my device storage) |
I used
NickleMenu to add the option to enable ftp and enable to option to 'Import Books', then when the Kobo is connected to Wi-Fi, it's ip address shows in the Settings - Device Information. I then use Filezilla to connect to the Kobo. Port number will appear when you enable ftp via NickleMenu, username is root and there is no password.
Sounds a lot, but once its all set up, as long as you don't restart the Kobo - all you need to do is open Filezilla, choose to connect to the Kobo and transfer any books across, then press 'Import Books' and they appear in My Books. I then turn wifi off. If you restart your Kobo, you'll have to re-enable ftp.
Let me know if you want it explaining better, or need any other help. I've only had my Libra for a month and found there's a lot of info on what can be done with patches and mods, but its not the easiest to find.
I like the idea of a wireless charger too, kinda interested in putting it inside the Libra, but not sure how much space there is behind the rear cover.
