Kobo Touch showing books in the cloud
Hi. My 11 year old son has my old Kobo Touch. For some reason it reset last night and I had to go through the setup process again. Now it shows books in the cloud that are available to download on the front screen. I have tried going through all the settings - turning wifi off, only showing downloaded books, etc but it still shows the books available for download. I really don't want my son seeing that 50 Shades of Grey (etc) is available for download.

If you don't mind getting rid of them, you can go to your library and remove the books from your Kobo account. You can do this either on the ereader by long pressing a title and selecting remove from account, or on the computer desktop with a right click. When the e-reader syncs again the title will be gone. I don't think you can get them back again though!
Alternatively, do a factory reset (under settings/device information) and set up a separate account for your son's device. You will not be able to get any titles you bought for him to the device though. That will keep him safe for about 3 to 4 years, when he figures out how to get whatever books he want on his own. ![]() |
