Kobo Aura HD SD Card Book Import Help

[exshadowz]

So I ran out of room on my internal storage for my kobo aura hd so I got a 32GB micro sd card and had it formatted to FAT32. I added some comic books in the format of .cbr but when I put the SD card back into the reader, the books don't get transfered and I can't find them. I know my SD card is able to be read since under device information it lists my SD card in it. Can someone please help. What am I doing wrong? Is there a specific folder that I have to name and put my .cbr files in for it to be readable?

Books on the SD card should just be added to the internal library. A few seconds after you first insert it, a black processing should be displayed. This shows the progress as the books on the card are added to the library. If this isn't displayed, then the books won't be seen on the device. If the processing doesn't complete, some or all of the books on the card won't be seen.

The books can be put anywhere on the card except in a directory whose name starts with a dot. The device also creates a directory call "koboExtStorage". You shouldn't put anything in that. Anywhere else should be OK.

The processing is based on the extension. If the file doesn't match what the extension is, then the book will be ignored. And it will probably prevent processing of other books. I would suggest removing all the CBR's from the card and putting a single epub or text file on the card to make sure it is being seen properly. Then, put a one or two CBR's back and see if they work. If that works, it probably is an issue with one of the other CBR's. If it doesn't, we'll have to think some more.

OMG Thank you. My problem was that I put my files in the folder koboextstorage. Once I moved them outside the folder all the files got read. Thank you so much.
