Problem solved with patch, I installed old dictionary, that was better and the patch "Change dicthtml strings to micthtml" to avoid synchronization of dictionary but we can't require that everybody do it. Last edited by ps67; 10-08-2018 at 11:11 AM. |

How do you figure? Over the past several years, I have logged hundreds of hours and finished dozens of books on my Kobo Aura. I custom patch my firmware, but that's only a few minutes of "hacking/tinkering" once or twice a year, if that. I actually use a firmware that's several years old because I prefer it to the latest versions.

You can fill the Kindle up to the brim with sideloaded content, and technically at least, cloud storage is unlimited if you’re into that. |

If you sideloaded the book using send to Kindle. So it goes into Amazon cloud and shows up as a personal document , then the reading position will sync across apps and devices. But you have to have downgraded the book format to mobi for that to work. And to live with your Kindle saying it is not a book, it is a document.
There may be other workarounds but you can't just sideloaded a azw via usb and expect that to sync Still better than anything you can do with kobo devices though |

But thinking about it there is a browser extension with the same name. Send to Kindle, that sends browser pages in a similar manner |

If I want to sync my reading position, what's wrong with doing that.? Will your next post tell us to avoid using the internet also ? I like my Amazon cloud drive. And my Google drive. Where else can I store a lifetime of photos in secure unlimited free storage, accessible from multiple devices anywhere. Any time. |

You and me both. I don't care for Walmart, but if my Aura goes the way of the dodo, I'm planning on ordering a Clara HD from them. I hope their partnership lasts.

Oh, I thought he was saying highlighting and taking notes wasn't possible on anything but books bought from Kobo... but I see now I took the information in between brackets to be the point instead of the information outside the brackets. Thanks for clarifying! 👍🏼 |

My exact same plan if anything happens to my H2o2, especially since Walmart has such an easy return policy if I were to have a problem with mine.

But, I do agree that Kobo should have a better dictionary available. The last time I looked, they appeared to be using the free Merriam-Webster electronic dictionary. So, the choice was probably about keeping the cost down. An option to buy a better one for those who need it would be good. |
