6) The Reading Life Stas on my Kobo includes sideloaded books and the totals are for across devices.
8) There are some magazine subsciptions available via Kobo directly but I noticed in the Vox promos them mentioning zinio. ( www.zinio.com for USA or http://ca.zinio.com). They have all the usual newstand magazines (US and EW among many others). |
Hey pasmith - just a few follow-up quesitons for you, if you don't mind...
1) The .avi is not a supported file type when I look at the specs. But...that just means that they don't have pre-loaded software that supports it, correct? So, in theory, I should be able to download a free app to play any of my .avi files?
3) Will there be something I can use to play library borrowed audio books that are .wma files (I had to download 'Overdrive Media Console' to listen to a book I borrowed recently on my PC).
6) I didn't realize you could use Reading Life right now...can I do that with my Kobo WiFi?
8) That zinio website for magazines looks great, but it doesn't have Entertainment Weekly or People in Canada
It's kinda pricey though...I can get a discounted paper subscription for most of those for much cheaper. I do like the capability of buying single back-issues to mags I don't subscribe to, though! That's cool! But...can you keep them forever or do they expire?
Thanks again for all the info!!!
