how do I bulk add books from kobo my books site
Hi e-reader,
I own a kobo forma and have most of my books a kobo.com in "my books". I have seen the video on how to use calibre and looked over the forums. However, I do not know how to add my books to calibre from the kobo site or my kobo forum. Could you take me step by step through it? I then want to add all my books from my kindle to calibre, so I have every e-book at one site. Thanks, Sandra |

As long as they have not been moved to archive, you can do a wireless sync and you will get all. The MyBooks under your account will have two labels called "My Books" and "archive". Archive are ones you don't want synced to a reader.
Personally, I download all to my PC and use calibre. |

It is not so hard but detailed instructions on how to get rid of DRM are forbidden here.
Ask for in the Apprentice Alf Blog where You can download OBOK. https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/ |

If you use Windows, download and install Adobe Digital Edition 2.0.1. http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/..._Installer.exe
Go to Adobe.com and register for a username and password and you can register ADE with that username and password. Install Calibre 64-bit (if you have a 64-bit Windows) and then go tot he link ps67 posted and get the DeDRM plugin and install it. Configure it and get the key from ADE. Go to Kobo.com and download all of the eBook you have from Kobo as ePub. The eBooks you download will be found in C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Digital Editions. The XXXX is the name of your account in Windows 10. Then you can drag/drop the ePub into Calibre and if everything is correct, you will have all of your ePub in Calibre with no DRM. |

BTW, for now ADE 4.5.11 works with Kobo without using Adobe's hardened DRM. Ditto for the public libraries I use. Last edited by DNSB; 06-08-2020 at 11:04 PM. Reason: Added comment about ADE 4.5.11 |
