This was obviously three years ago, so I don't know if you'll even see this, but: thanks for this very useful guide - which I thought I should let you know was used by someone I paid to do this for me (local tech guy). All went very smoothly, apparently.
I have one problem, though, which I wondered if you encountered, and if so maybe have a fix for.
Basically, the more books I've loaded onto the device (not far of 20,000 in total - I know, I know... therapy is being sought!), the slower and more temperamental it has become, even though it now has bags of extra storage ("198.6 GB of 237.0 GB available").
Obviously, it makes sense for it to take a bit (a lot) longer for Calibre to detect books on the device when I plug it into my laptop, and I'm fine with that. But it just seems to struggle in various ways that I thought might be cured by expanding the storage. For example, when I add a book or two now, it quite often spontaneously reboots before waking up properly, and then fails to import the books that are added (I have to just plug it back in, let Calibre do its thing, and then unplug again, and just hope that this time it imports the books rather than rebooting).
In my very non-techy way, I'm assuming that Kobo's "operating system" on the device isn't designed to deal with so much data, even though there's still bags of room on the microSD card - and I still haven't got anywhere near the "24,000 books" advertised as being feasible with the original 32 GB storage... ? If so, is there any way of tweaking/recalibrating something within the Kobo system files so that it would stop grumbling?
Anyway, either way, thanks again for the very useful guide!
