eMail epubs / pdfs to your Kobo

PeterT · Yesterday, 10:49 PM

I was just browsing Threads and fell into the wormhole of reading old posts by mtamblyn (Kobo CEO) and he mentioned a means of emailing content to your Kobo (if it natively supports DropBox).

I haven't yet tried it yet but see https://www.kobo.com/blog/how-to-ema...s-to-your-kobo

Ah.. looks like unfortunately that feature requires a PAID dropbox account.

Heh. I set up Dropbox on my Sage when I bought it in 2021 and have used it maybe 3 times since. I much prefer USB transfer. I do have a paid Dropbox account, but I'm not sure I want to bother with this. Things would be different if I spent a lot of time away from my computer and calibre library, but I don't these days.

And you can't sync your reading progress between Kobo ereaders via Dropbox, so that makes it pretty pointless for me.

What I do is when I go on vacation I bring my Surface Pro 2 with me and I have access to my entire calibre library.

I recently bought a new laptop to replace my slow Surface Pro 2. So that will be going with me next time I'm on vacation. I just have to finish setting it up.

I also used to take either my Surface Pro 6 or a small, lightweight laptop with me if I had to be away from home for a while.

Doesn't work for PDFs but I much prefer using Calibre-Web and it's Kobo sync. I upload a book to my Calibre-Web library and it syncs to my Kobo as if I bought it off Kobo.
