Sideload wirelessly to Kobo? - Page 2

quicktrick · 02-12-2016, 04:31 AM

Hi guys! Can anybody help me?

Yesterday I bought Kobo Glo HD. Today I connected to it via SSH using this and this instructions.

Now I can connect to Kobo via WinSCP and copy files to it. But there is some problem.

Yesterday I connected Kobo to my computer via USB, made a directory named /Books and put a book there. I can see and read that book, everything is OK.

But after I copied some books to the same directory /mnt/onboard/Books via WinSCP today, Kobo refused to see them. Even after system restart. How can I force it to see the new books?

The device will look for new sideloaded books when it is disconnected from the PC. There is some discussion in the forum about how to trigger this at other times. I can't remember if there was a good solution or not.

Thank you, David! I found the solution here (later in that post, under the first smiley

). It works flawlessly! Great!

KOReader will also access calibre's content server wirelessly, using its OPDS support. You can also have KOReader wirelessly connected to calibre, as a device.

Luck;

If I use calibre's content server to send ebooks to my H2O, am I correct that it would not be altered by any of the custom plugboards I've configured?

Yes and no. If you have a device specific metadata plugboard it won't be used. But, you can have a plugboard for the content server.
