Most of my books come from Kobo, so I deal with the DRM that they use. I rarely buy from Amazon and don't remember if I have it setup. This is similar to the Kindle, but, there is no way to sync books not purchased from Kobo.įor DRM removal, I can't help, but that's because I can't remember. If you have another Kobo device or use their apps, the books, reading status and annotations will sync to all of them. The books are downloaded and the reading status is synced to the server. #2 davidfor 01-04-2022, 08:18 PMThe primary difference between sideloaded and purchased books is that the latter will sync to the Kobo server. I was very excited for the switch to Kobo, and I REALLY prefer the Kobo device but this Calibre thing is making me fell a bit anxious about my decision.

Just to sum up, will be any difference between the same book from Kobo Store to a side loaded book from Amazon? Side loaded books will have any weird restrictions or wrong margins and spacing due to conversion? Will I miss features if I continue to get my books from Amazon and then convert with Calibre? I like to have reading stats to sett my trends, remaining time or pages.I also use A LOT highlights and dictionary with my Kindle. Should I use Kobo Touch Extended Driver and convert to Kepub instead of ePub? What are the main differences? I like the more advanced options to customize fonts, sides and margins of Kobo versus Kindle, so I don't want to miss anything here. The only thing that I have to configure is my Kindle serial number, right? I wonder if I should switch to Kobo Store and start to get my books from there or start using Calibre. I have about 20 or so books in my Amazon account. Plus I mostly read at night in bed so the orange light is a neat addition for me.

I like it but I really miss the comfort of buttons and the ability to hold it one handed. I have been a paper book reader for many years and I have a Kindle Paperwhite since 6 or 7 years.
