Aura H2O Adobe Digital and Calibre

Royoyo · 03-01-2017, 12:59 PM

Hi,

I have a Kobo Aura H2O, and I have Calibre for the Ebooks I own. I want to rent some ebooks in my local library, and it's with Adobe Digital Editions.

My question is: Is it possible to have both my Calibre libary AND my Adobe library on the same E-reader ?

Thanks

Yes, you can use both.

There is no real interaction between ADE and calibre that will stop them working together. When you use ADE to add books to the device, they go into a specific location. When the device is disconnected, it processes them. The next time you connect to calibre, they will appear in the device list as on the device. If you use calibre to track your reading, you can add an empty book to the library to match this book.

The other way is roughly the same. Any epub you add to the device using calibre will show in device list that ADE has after it has been processed. I haven't played with this enough to know what you can do with it.

About the only thing I would recommend is not starting calibre and ADE at the same time. Or having both running when you connect the device. Both do a lot of work when the device is first seen, and it could cause problems if both are trying to access the device at the same time.
