Also, I would to understand if it would be necessary to hack the Kobo to connect to my NAS.

Thanks TD3

Hi
Thnx for the tip. I have over near 800GB of E-Books. I normally read these E-Books (PDFs, EPubs, Mobis with Calibre) on my Ubuntu Linux laptop. I would like to use a Koko E-Reader that I can mount the NAS drive to access the eBooks. I would want to know which Kobo model to purchase that could be configured to mount the NAS to access my E-Books. Maybe, I should have stated how I access my library of E-Books with Calibre on my laptop running Linux. I guess the question is can any of the Kobos E-Reader provide user access to the OS to mount to a network device using SMB/CIFS, NFS,or access NAS Folders via Web Browser (HTTP/HTTPS).
