I have only used Calibre a few times, but doesn't the Kobo show up as a storage device, allowing you to drag/drop the books there? What advantage does Calibre offer purely for transferring?
- widowlark 7y agoUsing a simple plugin, you can save and convert your proprietary books to epub and similar. I do this with my kindle purchases.

It is easier to flip through my collection of books on a computer when deciding what to read next than on my ereader. Being able to download meta data helps me decide what to read next. I use the Calibre storage as my backup for my ebooks. My first ereader was a Kindle which I stupidly trashed while trying to swat a fly (true story). I then bought a Kobo. Calibre converted my books as I loaded them onto Kobo.
- Izkata 7y agoThere's a kobo driver for calibre that modifies epubs as they're transferred, for better support. I don't remember all it does, though.
