Important Kobo Arc 10 Question (MicroUSB to USB)

WarJar · 12-26-2015, 08:08 PM

I have the opportunity to get the Kobo Arc 10 for cheap, but I see it's only 16gbs which isn't a lot considering I read a lot of manga. Since it's not expandable by normal means, I'm wondering if I plug a microUSB to USB3.0 adapter into the microUSB port, and then insert a jump drive, will the reader be able to pull recognize the USB as an external, and pull books, songs, etc. off the drive?

Thanks for your help,

WarJar

Try searching for "kobo arc 10 otg".... Not sure but it should work - nowadays there are even dual connector sticks.

Yes, an otg adapter will let you connect a USB drive. My mom has the 10 and I tried with a 2.0 drive.
