Changing my email address
I need to change my email address so that I am no longer dependent on an ISP.
What do I need to do to get my kobo account email address changed? I can see on the web under "My Account" that I can simply type a new address in, but surely it can't be this easy. What about DRM, my adobe account and the email on my device - how do they all tie together? I don't want to change it then be unable to open my books. Any tips from anyone who has done this? Thanks |

This was my observation as well. I have changed my Kobo email address, and my ADE address is a third email address that is different from either that I used for Kobo. I haven't run into problems either opening my books on my device or via ADE.

As they've said, Kobo and Adobe ADEPT are completely separate systems. There is no requirement that you use the same user ID (email address) for both. In both systems you can change your email address with no ill effect and without having to reactivate your device(s) or software.

Just another tip if you think its worth while: import all of your ebooks into Calibre, and let it do its cleaning thingo and any format changes etc you want Calibre to do.
That way if Murphy's happens you'll have easy access to your books and can put them back onto the Glo via a direct transfer (side load) from Calibre. I have 2 Kobo accounts: 1 x dummy account which I use for the device and 1 x buying account. The dummy account I use only to sync new OS to the device. The 2nd account I use for purchase with my credit card. I only buy the Epub version (not the Kepub version) and I download all Epub ebooks, irrespective of where I buy them (including library ebooks), into Sony Reader for PC. Once they're in there I then open Calibre and import them and clean them etc. Easy peasy, and I don't get caught up with the hassles of using Adobe. And yes, Adobe has been a hassle for me when I've changed my email account with them. So, doing it the way I described - that is download epubs straight into Sony Reader for PC and then importing into Calibre means I never have to go near Adobe software. |
