- Do you want to format it?

I guess this has nothing to do with the Kobo ereader device, it's just a problem of the Windows itself. I will try to fix it.

The books should be copied to any folder in particular on the device partition?
Does Windows actually mount the device and let you access it? As it is prompting you to format it, I would not expect this. I would expect that you would need to sort that out before anything could be done. Do you have another PC you can connect it to?

If Windows does let you access it, then it doesn't matter much were you put the books. Older firmware would not look for books inside directories whose name starts with a dot. Newer firmware does. But, don't put them inside either of the ".kobo" or ".kobo-images" directories.
