I don't know what to do?! Factory reset will lose my books...is there ANYTHING I can do?!?!

HELP PLEASE!!!

Thanks y'all!!!
If you purchased the books from the Kobo bookstore and they were downloaded over wifi or using the Kobo desktop app to your Glo, they should be re-downloaded after the factory reset. If you sideloaded the books to the Glo's internal storage and don't have copies on your computer, you can alway copy them to your computer before the factory reset. If the sideloads are on a uSD card, they should not be affected during the factory reset. One other item to copy to your computer before the factory reset is the authorization.xml file in the .adobe-digital-editions directory. Copy it back afterwards and your Glo will still be authorized without having to use up one of your Adobe authorizations. While they are good about resetting the usage counter, it's an annoyance to have to call them when you run out of authorizations.

Regards,
David
