Today unboxing a Kobo LIbra Colour ereader I received as a gift.
Two things I immediately like:
* it mounts via USB as a plain storage device (formatted FAT32) under Linux (LMDE) and epub files can be simply copied to the device in the console
* its a simple matter to add a one-liner to the plaintext config file stored on the device to disable the need to register and setup an account (user has options)
Kudos Kobo!
@dwarmstrong Kobo ebook readers are quite amazing devices that just makes life simpler. I have the first Kobo Touch and it still receives updates that actually improves the device.
I have the same and have not used it in ages, but this is good to hear.
IIRC copying library books to it is a pain, but that's more because I hate Adobe Digital Editions than anything else.
@Tourma @dwarmstrong Well that is true for old Kobo readers. The new ones have the ability to borrow from the library directly on the reader.
That's correct. My Kobo Clara HD can borrow ebooks directly from my local library via Overdrive.
@sohkamyung @adamsdesk @dwarmstrong
Glad the newer ones fixed that. :)
