Opening emailed ePub in Kobo app

luthar28 · 08-17-2011, 12:08 PM

If someone emails me a valid ePub (no DRM), how do I open it in the Kobo app? From the email, it says 'open in Kobo' but when I click (errrr...touch) the Kobo app choice, it opens Kobo but doesn't copy over the file. Any ideas?

This very simple method works with all the other readers, just not the Kobo.

The iPhone Kobo app.

I've emailed myself an ePub. I click the attachment in the email and it says 'Open In' then I pick Kobo. Kobo opens...but the attachment is nowhere to be seen.

I'm sure I can manually copy it over with iTunes, but I'm trying to figure this out as I'm distributing eBooks independently.

Hm I could swear I had done this in the past, but I just tested it and same as you - looks like it's doing something, but no book is loaded or opened. However, I use Dropbox all the time for this purpose, and it works very well. Book cannot have DRM of course.
