Even without a screen protector you can create friction with the HB tip on a Surface pen or an extra ‘rubber’ tip you can put over the tip of the Kobo pencil. The rubbery tips sold for the Apple Pencil 1 do work fine.

FYI, you can set Calibre up to automatically convert books when they’re imported, so that makes the process a little smoother. Also, you can send books to the attached device using the button in the toolbar at the top, saving the need to open a Finder folder and drag the book

I was debating between Kobo and the new Boox Tablet Go Color 7 e-reader. Me being technologically illiterate I think the Kobo would have me in a tailspin trying to figure out how to download my kindle books. I probably will go with the Boox Go color 7, but I'm waiting for it to come out in white. Thank you for all the information, Danielle. It helped me a lot!

Oh, I'm so glad. You're very welcome. I def think you'll love the Boox device. I don't have the Go 7, and it doesn't have a stylus, but it's SUPER simple to load all of your apps onto Boox devices to read ALL the books!! 😎

Question: If I use the serial number of my Paperwhite in Calibre, does it cause any issues when I actually want to download a book from Amazon to that same Kindle? Also, can you create Collections (or folders) on the Kobo to keep your books organized? Thanks for a great tutorial! I'm very tempted - but also concerned that as soon as I buy the Kobo Libre, Amazon will announce a color Kindle!
@fitdaniellereads2 ай бұрын
I haven't had any problems downloading books to my Office Kindle since I added the number to Calibre. I don't think that Amazon even "sees" that Calibre has the number. The Kobo has collections -- so you can put books that you own, ones from Overdrive, and/or ones from KoboPlus into collections. And I'm 100% with you . . . I REALLY expect to see a color Kindle soon.
@redshoes3152 ай бұрын
@@fitdaniellereads Thanks! I just read an article that said Amazon will be using a different color technology on their color Kindle, one that will render much brighter colors. But will also be more expensive: like 40-60% more than a regular Kindle. But they don’t say WHICH regular Kindle so guess we have to keep fingers crossed on that!

I downloaded everything but when I go to preferences on calibre to upload the DeDrm it’s not applying into calibre what am I doing wrong ?
@fitdaniellereadsАй бұрын
Did you go into "file type" under Plugins? So you download DeDrm onto your computer and then go to "Load plugin from file" under preferences and navigate to where you downloaded DeDrm. Run it from there -- your computer will warn you that it might be dangerous and have you restart Calibre -- then you go to Preferences>Plugins and then you see the list and click file type, and DeDrm should be in there. I have a more in-depth walkthrough here. That might help. Good luck. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMlooNaWuprXc4k.htmlsi=LmrSJILrazezA1Ar

@fitdaniellereadsАй бұрын
I probably should have explained this a LOT better -- sorry. You can buy books on the Kobo store or check them out from Overdrive on your Kobo. The conversation process is in case you have the book in a different format (like Kindle or Nook) and want to read it on your Kobo. I hope that makes sense. The Kobo is actually very simple to use to read actual Kobo books. 😂

I agree that one hour is a lot, but there was a lot to cover. I spent a lot of time doing chapter markers so that people could skip sections that they didn't want to watch and find the information that they were looking for.
