Free Franklin book

oldyellr · 03-02-2012, 12:39 PM

When my daughter got a Vox for Christmas, it included a free Franklin book for kids. I remember when I got my Vox a month earlier, there were at least three free books, although only a couple ever came up on mine. Maybe something got lost or corrupted during the download and Franklin was missing. Anyway, I now see "Franklin and the Thunderstorm" among the recommendations with the March update, but the Kobo reader won't download it. I wanted to get it to show my grandkids. I can only find it at the Kobo store, but it's not free. How can I get the free one that came with the Vox?

I thought the Franklin book was a read along. I got my Vox before Christmas and it had the 3 freebies but Franklin does not play??

I think Franklin was just a colour book to show off the colour aspect of the VOX. I don't think it was one of the special VOX only books that read along.

(there is an app iStory, that you can download and it has free books that someone reads)

So was the Franklin book one of the free books that came with the Vox in November, or December, or both? If the former, I got short-changed because it failed to download. I know someone who got a Vox in December that has it. Perhaps I can get the files from her, but they are hard to identify. The Kobo books appear to be in a folder in /sdcard/KoboPegasus/epubs/ but the folder names are a long series of letters and numbers.

/sdcard/KoboPegasus/epubs/e3d8ef57-8e5c-412d-a6f8-04701a71bfc4-3

I'm guessing that last folder name will be unique per Vox ... but that's just a guess.

Today my daughter was over with her Vox and I hooked it up with the USB to my computer and located and copied a 20 meg folder with that exact name. Had to be it, because it contained audio. I then copied it to /sdcard/KoboPegasus/epubs/ on my Vox. However, the book didn't come up, even after doing a search. There's probably an index file that needs to point to the folder, so I guess I'm out of luck.
