Libra 2 how to open OPDS? / Best way to tranfer books

Thoven · 12-09-2023, 12:55 PM

I'm setting up my first Kobo device coming from a lifetime of Kindle (Libra 2). The way I always got books to my Kindle was by setting up the email service and sending through Calibre. I loved the ability to get books to my device without having to open the device and manually sync, and would like to have that same convenience here. I'm attempting to do so by following this guide. I have KOReader installed on my device, and I can't find the OPDS button to set it up. I tried disabling and re-enabling it in plugin settings and restarted both times, but still don't see the option.

Alternatively, would I be better off just setting up sync with dropbox or something? I'm torn - on one hand, it would be great to be able to manage my 'collections' on PC and have them carry over in the future whenever it's time to replace my device. But on the other hand, keeping everything in Calibre is so clean. Is there a way to keep it synced with an entire Calibre library maybe? And is there a built in way to view books of a series? If not the file server sync would be more appealing as I can put entire series in a folder. I try and always have a way to do this so that when I have no cell service and can't look up the names of sequels I have a way to find the next book.

OPDS is in the upper menu Search, available in file browser mode (not in a book).
You can setup a local calibre server there.
