A device that was manufactured without USB port would probably come with the ability to download Adobe books directly...
I don't see it happening though; but then, I don't need waterproof readers anyhow. |

If you want to connect to calibre wirelessly and appear as a device in calibre, you can do that too. Then you have to deal with letting calibre build its own file structure, on your device, just like a USB connection. With this you push selected files from your PC calibre library to your device, from your PC. In both cases, if you don't have the files placed in a "hidden" folder, the files will be subject to the Nickel processing that adds them to the database for the stock readers and has them appear in the Kobo "Library". So, you could put a good (Samsung or Sandisk) 32GB uSD card in your H2O's external slot and then use some silicone sealant to seal the cover on. Except that you would need another way to charge the battery. Perhaps something like this. Or this. I ordered one and a charging base for it ($35 total) Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 05-22-2015 at 01:48 PM. |

Given that Rakuten now owns Overdrive, I'm hopeful that a firmware update will one day give us the direct acsm processing that was on the Sony readers.

I see it drifted off topic a tiny little bit...

As for this user's experience: I have had my H2O freeze up a couple of times and a corrupt database the other day (likely induced by calibre), but it has been reliable otherwise. |

IP66 means "No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight)" and "Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects." IP67 means "No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight)" and "Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion)." (Emphasis mine.) According to the Kobo website, the H20 is designed to withstand immersion "for up to 30 minutes in up to 1 meter of water with port cover closed". It says nothing about high pressure situations like immersion in moving water or placing your device under a running tap (and, no, dropping an H20 in a bathtub or spilling a drink on it does not qualify as "moving water" in this context). And according to the IP ratings, it is only designed to prevent ingress of a "harmful quantity" of water, and unless the OP's device has started to malfunction from the few drops that managed to get underneath the USB cover, it seems to me that his H20 is working as intended. So my advice to the OP is to stop placing your H20 under a running tap, because that's not what it's designed for. Have you contacted Kobo? What did they say? |

This is how I do it on my "waterproof" phone. In fact, it's really more like just having the tap running a bit and using a wet hand to clean the outside. |

Any device with an open slot is not really waterproof. That goes for "underwater" photocameras as well
