What is meant by sending over the information onto the kobo twice - the first time I sent files it worked well but as mentioned it didn’t go into the SERIES section. Once I did it a second time I just sent the books over twice - am I doing this wrong? What exactly is meant by sending info twice or if I update metadata on a book, how do I update this information onto the kobo without sending the book twice
@mikadukireads
@mikadukireads Ай бұрын
@@Nuno-s2w you don't have to send it twice, just connecting it twice is enough! I'm not sure why it is this way, but I've read on multiple forums other people have this issue as well. First connection, you actually send / drag the book to the kobo to send the file. Then disconnect and reconnect, but no need to drag more files! Hope this helps, let me know if you run into more issues (:

Like i have to hold the power button for half a minute to restart it, but it doesnt resolve the issue because the next time i arrive on that same page, it will immediately freeze... i looked at official support faq page but its a generic "try to reset the device", which makes literally no sense because i just bought a fresh new one... any help tips are appreciated, thanks!

Maybe youre not using the correct plugin? There's 2 plugins in calibre for kobo, and one is older. The one that is most compatible with more kobo devices has extended in the name.

Yes, it is possible! I personally almost never listen to audiobooks (when I do, I use spotify) so I'm not sure how to do it, but when I googled sideloading audiobooks / add audiobooks into calibre I found a few tutorials that seemed helpful 🥰

Hey, for some reason my kobo is not showing up in calibre when i plug it in my laptop, I have the kobo clara (bw). It dous say on my kobo that it's charging

Hey, I already fixed it. So apparently the cable that Kobo provides with the Kobo clara bw is actually a USB-C cable that can only charge. I assume it's to prevent people from Inporting illegal books from your laptop to the Kobo. Realy stupid because it took me a while to figuere out. I guess this could be worth mentionning in your video (or a future one).

@@leongielen1654 oooh glad you figured it out! I see, I honestly didn't know since I use an Apple usb c cable that I always have with me for my devices, including the kobo. That's so interesting the cable works like that! Thanks for letting me know and I'll definitely keep it in mind for a future q&a video regarding kobo or something! ❣️

this is going to sound so dumb but does anyone know if there is something similar to calibre for a chromebook because i have one and calibre does not work on chromebooks which is very sad because i will be getting a kobo soon and would love to be able to have free books on it.

@@keagancolley9183 not dumb at all!! ❣️ there is a workaround on Chromebook to get Calibre to work with Linux, but idk how complicated that is exactly, I found some steps on Google. There's also an Apple/Android download, so you could look into that and see if there is something that works for you (:
