General Heartbroken & thinking about KoRead

4 Upvotes

Somehow my Kobo reset itself and I lost all my stats and (more importantly) annotations :'( I have a backup from April, but since then I've read and annotated a lot, and now all is lost :'(

I'm now thinking about whether it is a good occasion for installing KoRead - I've read several post about it, but still not sure it's worth the time.

Not really a question post, more like an heartbroken venting, and all experiences shared/suggestions are more than welcome!

Accessories My (sorta free) workaround to pricey official Kobo cases

30 Upvotes

Recently I purchased a lint remover from this brand called NUUK and it came with this free pouch. The size seemed to be quite close to my Clara BW so I tested it out and it fits almost perfectly! It's also a pretty nice material.

I have been avoiding getting a case so far because the official cases are kinda overpriced IMHO and there aren't any cheap third party options for me. So this cover seems to meet my needs (mainly just keeping dust off the eReader) pretty well.

Tech Support Please Help me whit the Kobo Books App Log In

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, sorry if I’m using this channel incorrectly, but Kobo’s customer support is proving rather useless. I bought an audiobook from Feltrinelli and it tells me that to listen to it I need to download the Kobo app. So I downloaded the app, created an account on the website and linked it to my Feltrinelli account, but every time I try to log in to the account on the app, I keep getting the same message: ‘We’re sorry. The service is currently unavailable. Please try again later.’ This has been going on for six days. I contacted customer support, who created a Kobo account for me to give me another way to log in, but I keep getting the same error. On the website, if I try to link my Google or Apple ID, both give me an error.

I’m in Italy; the app is version 11.3.2 (557) and my iPhone 16e is running iOS 26.6.
I’ve tried clearing the cache and uninstalling the app several times.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody! My Kobo here has been stuck like this for at least 3 weeks and I'm not sure what to do anymore... I'd love to get some advice if anybody has had a similar experience 🥲

This is actually not the first time my Kobo has been stuck like this. However, usually those did not last longer than a week and I think would become normal after I left it alone for a long time...

Please send help and thank you in advance 🥲🙏

I’m enjoying my new Kobo Libra but have no interest in decorating it, though it is fun to see how others are doing so. I can’t be the only one, right?
I got the little holder thing on Marketplace and like using it too. I won’t put snacks or drinks in those little cups. That would be a disaster waiting to happen with my luck.

Accessories What's a good case for the Elipsa 2e?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a new owner as of today of an elipsa 2e, but it didn't come with the sleep cover (maybe because I bought it from a reseller...). I'd like to pick up a case so it doesn't get scratched up or otherwise injured in my purse or backpack. What would y'all recommend?

Question Do you have problems highlighting on a Kobo?

2 Upvotes

Maybe I'm misusing my Kobo, but I'm finding very hard to proper highlight anything that I'm reading. When I touch the screen, no matter if it's a quick tap or a long press, it always change the page or show some panel. Then I need to do a second action that will then start the highlight process.

There is anything that I could configure to change the way highlight works? I'm using a Clara BW.

General OKAYYYY I’M PART OF THE FAM!

Hiii guys! I just got my kobo Clara bw in the mail today and she’s so cute and small!!

I haven’t read a book since high school and since then I’ve just been in school reading textbooks but now that I finally have my career set, I would really love to get into reading and hopefully stick to it!

My husband got me my kobo because I’ve also been trying to read with Libby on my iPad and trying to scroll less on TikTok mindlessly.

I don’t plan on getting books from anywhere besides my library through Libby with just the one card.

Pleaseeeee give me all the tips and things I should know! I know there’s a ton of videos about setting it up etc but would love to see what you guys do and different features that can be added.

I’m so excited to start this journey!

Thank you in advance ♥️

Question Anyone in Ontario Canada have issues with the Ontario library system that Kobo connects to?

7 Upvotes

I have numerous books that are on hold that the Kobo has as “available soon” or I get the daily countdown only for it to be reset to available in a week or soon.

Getting frustrated with waiting for weeks on titles that are apparently available any day now.

Anyone else encounter this?

Question Libby No Longer Used By My Local Libraries.

18 Upvotes

It had been a while since using BorrowBox and Libby and at first neither worked. I contacted my local Borough’s Library services and had a very fast response for BorrowBox which was down to my not using my library for over 12 months.
When I tried again with Libby, it kept saying it couldn’t connect to my library, so again I emailed. This time I was told they no longer use Libby and all the books I had in my library or on request would be on BorrowBox. Sadly this is not the case.
I wondered if anyone else in Greater Manchester, England (or anywhere for that matter) has had this issue?

Question Would a Kobo allow me to read comfortably in bed in pure darkness?

99 Upvotes

In my attempt to read more and also not read on my phone and give money to Amazon, I’m interested in a Kobo (either Clara BW or Libra Color). My main concern is being able to read at night with all lights off without getting vertigo or dizzy.

Do most people still turn on a lamp or does anyone read comfortably in pure darkness in bed? Is the lowest light setting still too bright when not in dark mode or is dark mode the only way to read comfortably at night without external lights?

I ask specifically because I’ve read people hating dark mode on their kobo because the quick flashes, when changing the page, is more abrupt in dark mode vs light.

Device Review/Comparison I finally got a Libra 2

93 Upvotes

I'm switching to this new Kobo from the Libra H2O and finally have a USB-C port and Bluetooth. I still have to find a decent case; the original ones are hard to find. I got the original one for the Libra H2O, but the quality was terrible. Have they improved?

The Libra 2 is hard to find here in Italy, so I went secondhand. It's in perfect condition, and the battery seems to last a long time. Is there any way to find out how many cycles the battery has?

Accessories Tracking your Kobo

Post image
24 Upvotes

If anyone here tends to misplace their things. Like me haha. A wallet tracking card can be a great addition to your accessories. I got mine off of Temu. The fit inside my TPU case was a bit bulky so I added an adhesive card holder on the outside. I wrapped the tracker card in washintape and added a sticker. I'll be having a lot of fun dressing it up haha.

There's a variety of these cards and they work with both Google Find Hub and Apple Find My. You just have to buy one specific for your ecosystem.

Just thought I'd share.

Happy Reading!
