OK. I received the refurbished Kobo Sage yesterday, then my Fire tablet is now stuck on FIre screen. No more reading on it.
I tried to set up Dropbox on the Sage, then I put a doc in Dropbox under a folder called KOBO. Then I went to the KOBO, and nothing is there. Obviously......I did not do it right! I am thinking the doc should be a PDF??? So, now I need to install plugins? Maybe? I need to know what else to do before I learn how to sideload or convert my Calibre books to the KOBO. I see why so many people continue to buy Nooks and Kindles....so much to learn. I also checked out Kobo store prices vs. Amazon store prices. No difference. But I enrolled in Kobo Plus trial version, and I noticed that Kobo Plus has some books on it that Kindle Unlimited does not have. They must be bought on Amazon. |

KDP Select? Is that an author's thing?

It's a program authors enroll in to put their books on Kindle Unlimited.

The DropBox configuration on the Sage should have created a folder called "Apps/Rakuten Kobo" on your Dropbox. This is the folder you have to place content in for it to sync (at least, that is how it works on the Libra Colour model and I expect it's the same on the Sage as well).

When the Apps/Rakuten Kobo folder was created, there should have been a PDF file called How to add books to your eReader using Dropbox.pdf stored in it. It's pretty simple and basically says the same thing as PeterT said.

Can you sync to download from Dropbox without downloading from Kobo?

Please read How to add books to your eReader using Dropbox.pdf attached to message #21 or PeterT's message #20.
