Aura HD Hiding old books on the Kobo

mwheinz · 11-12-2014, 08:40 PM

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I've been googling around and found no love.

I recently migrated from an ancient PRS-600 to a Kobo Aura H20. I love the upgrade, but in the list of books on my device I see a bunch that I bought years ago from the Kobo store (and elsewhere? I swear I bought many of these books from other vendors!?).

Anyway, each book has a "download" button next to it, which is nice but I don't need to download them, I've already read them, and I've got them safely archived in Calibre. The old Sony Reader store let me "archive" books which would hide them in the Reader desktop software. Is there a similar ability for the Kobo?

Tap the menu icon at the top right of the list. one of the options is "Library settings". The first option in the settings is "Only show downloaded books". Select that and these books will be hidden in the list.

Thanks, David. It was right where you said.
