Help with my new ereader
Hi, I've bought a Aura One but I'm doing little disappointing experience:
I downloaded my .mobi ebooks from my kindle paperwhite3 to the kobo and I updated the firmware to the version 4.6.9995 but the device is still too slow to open several books and even to turn page! Moreover I can't underline or use the popup dictionary at all... What can I do? Could anyone help me? thanks |

Instead install and use calibre and use it to convert from mobi to either epub or kepub format. |

As PeterT recommended, load your mobi format books into Calibre, update the metadata and covers, convert them to epub (or kepub) and send them to your Kobo. I'm quite surprised that many of them would open since you made no mention of stripping DRM. |

It works!!
Thanks, I downloaded the plugins for calibre, enabled the fullscreenreading and insered the .css file to correct the margins and now the ereader works wonderfully!
But I was thinking: with this tweaks am I risking to brick or do harm to the device? If they are safe, could you copy a link with others interesting features that I can enable with the Notepad++ ? (I searched but I haven't found a complete list) |

Don't worry, editing your .css file and converting book formats does not risk your new KA1.
