2 questions about newspapers on the Kobo Wifi
Hi there,

I just received my Kobo wifi and tried a few things, e.g. reading a newspaper subscription which can be downloaded as an ePub (using Calibre or directly from the newspaper's website).
I used Calibre to load the ePub onto the Kobo, but it is displayed in the 'books' section.
Is there a way to let the magazine's ePub appear in the "news & mags" section?

A second question:
The ePub does have a TOC, but not a very comprehensive one, just the first level. Navigation within the ePub works using clicking on the links of headlines, at least in Calibre. Can I click on these links on the Kobo somehow?

Thanks for your suggestions!

I believe the only items that appear in the News & Mags section subscription items from Kobo.

Can I "click" on a link / <a>-tag within an ePub on the Kobo?

Unless something was added recently, the Kobo doesn't follow in-text links. I should find a book with links on my BeBook and move it over to the Kobo to check; perhaps later today.

Even with the new 1.9 firmware I do not see a way to click links on the Kobo. So using calibre to load news on to the Kobo seems useless no?

Links work only with the newspapers and magazines purchased through Kobo, at the moment. The top and bottom presses on the d-pad are used to navigate to them instead of using them to change font sizes.

Sweet that is good to know we can at least do links in purchased ones.
