The Kobo doesn't use NTFS. I think it uses FAT32. There's some NTFS-specific properties that'll get lost - tags, some alternate data streams, etc.

Using Calibre to manage books on device would avoid it.

You can also look into whether Kobo can use NTFS, but I doubt it as Kobo is based on Linux.

Also, this belongs in the Kobo forum.
