Transfering Reading Stats to Aura One

AeonX2 · 01-11-2017, 03:17 PM

So I just got my Aura One yesterday and I've been looking around for a way to transfer my reading stats from my Aura HD to the new device, but I haven't really been able to find any conclusive information on whether it is possible or not.
The majority of my library is not through my kobo account, rather synced through calibre so I'm not sure if that'd have any effect on it or not.

It's really nice to see it updated whenever I've finished a book and I'd hate to have it gone, any help would be really appreciated.

It depends on what you want. If you want to sync the reading status of the books, you can use my Kobo Utilities to store them in calibre and then sync to the new device. This should give you the finished books stat.

If you want to sync the number of hours read, it's different matter. Several people have reported moving the database from one device to another successfully. Ideally, you do this with the devices at the same firmware level. And you might need to copy the contents of the "user" table from the Aura ONE database to get it working. There has been discussion on this with the other devices, but, I don't remember if anyone has done this successfully for the Aura ONE.

Yeah that's what I had found as well, I was hoping someone might have tried it with the One, oh well.
But thanks for the help, I'll take your advice with the utilities, it will definitely make the process a bit less painful.
