| 1249037 | 2011-12-17 01:48:00 | The Kobo app works well on iPad2. Plenty of books available through their system. Kobo also works well on Galaxy S2. The books stay synchronized on both platforms so if I am reading on one, say the iPad, and then want to continue to read the same book on the Galaxy when out somewhere it opens up at the last place I was reading on the iPad and visa versa. | CliveM (6007) | ||

| 1249040 | 2011-12-17 03:51:00 | Sorry Pato - we have had friends here for the day, so no PC time. Glad you have sorted it out. If you want to know about the various Calibre plugins that are available, Google "Apprentice Alf". There is an url there for EBook formats, DRM and you. That will explain how to download the and use the various plugins, some of which do not come with Calibre. I am just learning how to use the eReader and Calibre myself, so it has been a bit "trial and error" but I have got what I wanted now. | John H (8) | ||
| 1249041 | 2011-12-17 04:56:00 | Thanks John H, No worries. It probably didn't do me any harm to work it out for myself. Looking a "Apprentice Alf" it is obvious that I am not the only one trying to get to grips with Calibre. It is good that there is plenty of help on the various Forums. I sure appreciate people helping me. |

| 1249042 | 2011-12-17 19:13:00 | Is every book known to man available by this download method? | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1249043 | 2011-12-17 19:28:00 | Is every book known to man available by this download method? Nope. But it's like this, Amazon has an amazingly huge selection of books, although by no means complete. Everything that isn't hugely popular or local we have to order... Whenever I search at Whitcoulls I get: Out of Stock - ships in 3-5 weeks. And a $40+ pricetag. Fishpond is quicker, but in most cases they still ship from the UK... Which puts it at about 2 weeks, give or take. Or I could download them in an instant, for a 10th of the price... In a year or so, a tablet would have paid for itself. One is spoilt and does not know the value of libraries. :( |

| 1249046 | 2011-12-17 21:05:00 | I discovered yesterday that the Kobo is the only one at the moment that is compatible with Nelson Libraries eBook service which probably means it will be compatible with other NZ libraries too, might be worth your while checking it out | gary67 (56) | ||
