Glo How to share text

tkavan · 12-29-2014, 08:16 PM

When I select text in a book I am reading, and then click to share it, the only option I get is to share it on Facebook. Are there any other options? Email, perhaps?

The share option only works with Facebook (I believe Twitter is still in development) and it's not really sharing the text, but just providing a link to the book from the Kobo store. If the book you have on your library is sideloaded, it might not match the version/s of the book from Kobo which will result in a dead link.

Thanks for the explanation, hleo. I prefer the Kindle system, where selected text can be copied to the clipboard and then emailed.

This feature could be pretty quickly kludged: set up a second FB account, share to that account with the Kobo, and subscribe to that account (with full emailed notifications) with your primary FB account. The biggest problem is the character limit. It would be nice to see a hack for that.

Not something I have used, (the plug-ins) but the addon reader Koreader has both Evernote and Zsync plugins. Not sure how they work but it looks like there are several ways to deal with notes and save them as HTML files is one, recently added and not shown on the linked page.

Luck;
