Aura Possible purchase of Aura

geminii_77 · 08-18-2014, 07:26 AM

I'm looking to possibly purchase the Aura (mainly because I'm currently using a 5"screen which fits nicely in my pocket) but I just have 1 major issue before I get it - I need to know how does it sort the books?

The one I currently have uses the drag and drop method and shows the folders and sub folders (and I have lots of these) like the documents folder on your computer, does the Aura do this or is it more like the Kindle where you have to organise the books by author/collection?

Thanks in advance.

It sorts books more like the Kindle.

Unless you want to add KOReader as an alternative reader, in that case, you can make folders and subfolders.

Although when used with the Calibre program, you can have collections created automatically and with ease, so in that way, the Kobo is far superior to the Kindle.

Hi,

By default, Kobo displays books by date (most recent first) but you can change the order:
- by Title
- by Author
- by File size
- by File type

You can also filter the list with a display All / Reading / Unread / Finished

Of course, you can use 'Collections' to order your library. In this case - as mentioned by booklover6 - Calibre is a great companion
