Haodoo Chinese Ebooks on KOBO

Hi,

Just in case there is anyone who is having problems getting Haodoo Chinese Ebooks on the KOBO, these are steps to take to get them onto the KOBO.

First, you need Calibre to do conversion.
Install Calibre.
Then go to this site to download Haodoo plugin for Calibre,
instructions on how to install the plugin are also on the site:
http://kanru.github.com/calibre-haodoo/

You will also need winzip or winrar program to open the epub files.

Next, go to Haodoo to download the ebooks in PDB format.
Add these PDB ebooks into Calibre library.
Then convert these PDB into the EPUB format.
And then locate the EPUB format ebooks by right clicking on the ebook on calibre library and selecting info.
Open the EPUB format book with winrar or winzip program.
Add and replace files in the EPUB in winrar or winzip program with the two files below - css file and font file - can be downloaded via the links below.
Then transfer the EPUB book to your KOBO via Calibre.

DO note that title of the EPUB book on KOBO will not display chinese,
so remember to change the title of your book to English before conversion.

Would be nice if KOBO could display chinese fonts without having to tweak so many things.
