Hi to All,
I bought an ebook on a site which I don't usually use and downloaded it to one of my Kobos. I intended to then move it to another Kobo which I prefer. To do this I tried to copy the book from my Kobo into Calibre with the intention of then copying it into the other Kobo which has a different account.

When I tried to copy the book from the Kobo to Calibre it would not copy and I got a message telling me that the book was "virtual" and could not be copied. I don't understand why the book is called "virtual" as I can read it on the Kobo with the appropriate account. However, when I open the Kobo on my computer the new book is not visible on the list of books on the Kobo (other books from my other account are visible). It appears in the Kepub list with a code number and not with its real title.

Is it not possible to copy the book to my other Kobo which has a different account?

I hope this is clear...
Thanks for any advice!
