Dropbox and Kobo Arc
HI
I have dropbox on both my computer and kobo arc. I have sent a link to myself for all my books on dropbox on my computer and they all show up on my dropbox on my kobo arc. When I try to download to my kobo arc I get "Can not open James Patterson - Guilty Wives.epub Please download an app that can open this file" Why can't I download these epub files to my kobo arc? Thanks for your help |

As it says, you need an app installed that will open .epubs. Take a look at the Android Devices subforum for suggestions.

I just checked; it will import and open non drm epubs.
From in dropbox: select book export to sd card (I have a "book" directory so I saved it there) From in kobo app library: import items select the book (select option to have the kobo app delete from the "book" directory or not) Book appears in Library.

I've changed some things but I'm using the Tapestries launcher so hopefully you'll see this:
Tap "Reading" tapestry Tap "Library" icon In the top left corner, beside the K logo, tap the area to the right of it and the following list comes up: Home Library Store Reading Life Select Library. |
