Touch Kobo Social Networking, and Awards

chyandlah · 06-23-2011, 03:18 PM

Okay so I thought one of the features for the Kobo Touch was to be able to share awards, post books you're reading, or post quotes from them. I still haven't figured out how to set that up.

Also, there's only a few awards I can recieve right now (fewer than 20), but on Kobo's website there's a whole lot more, including the facebook one. Is there an update I need?

it's not available for the kobo itself, it links to the ipad and iphone i believe.
it's on the kobo touch website.

they're working on adding the apps to other platforms and i'm guessing because the new KT is touch that it'll be available to sync through that as well but i'm not 100% sure.

right now you only have what's avail and have to use those platforms above to get the full experience for the time being.

It is syncing with my Android APP, at least I think it is, LOL. Only the Android version released in June.

strange, kobo's website under features for the touch lists 65 awards, one of them being a facebook award. if it's not available why would there be pictures showing it is?

There's a Facebook award on the Kobo Android app for connecting to Facebook from a book you're reading. Some awards don't show up at all until you earn them and others are there at the start, but greyed out until you get them, at least on Android.
