KoboCloud VS koreader

it arrived at home, i configured the syncing following this instructions https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud and all was fine.

If you already have a self-hosted NextCloud instance or you already have a Google or Box account, you can use KoboCloud: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

How about trying one of these other cloud services if you don’t like Dropbox? https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

However, there is already a tool that downloads epubs from a Dropbox / Gdrive folder https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud I can't say that I've tried it though.

Hi everyone, I'm using a Kobo Clara HD and I was trying to install KoboCloud on my device. I completed every step shown in their github page and the procedure seemed to have succeced, anyway when I tried to connect it via USB my OS (Ubuntu in this case) didn't show the device. Since this thing has already happened to me (and previosly this day the very same USB connection worked just fine) I thought that the Kobo needed a factory reset, but even after that nothing changed. So I started panicking and tried with different cables and OS (I tried Win and a Live version of Ubuntu), I even went for a factory reset with DevModeOn (this restore the firmware version to the first one), same issue. I'm seriously starting to worring now because I rely, for the entirity of my readings, on the imported e-books. If you have any suggestion (whether solving the problem or just bypassing it) you would save my life!! Thank you in advance for your time.

I think KoboCloud will work.

Elipsa, Sage, and Forma have Dropbox synching for sideloading content. You can also add Dropbox and other cloud services to other models via KoboCloud.

I've got a bone stock Kobo Libra H2O and have been using Cloudsync and Google Drive: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud I use this to sync with my google drive. So I just drop new book into my google drive and my Kobo will download it automatically. It works for a bunch of online drive like Dropbox etc

You can use KoReader built in Calibre remote push, or you can try https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud/pull/35

Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]

Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Ha! I feel similarly, if not as eloquently.

Installed https://github.com/koreader/koreader on mine + enabled SSH server.

I read that KOreader is unstable on the Libra 2[0], so I haven’t installed it yet even though I would like to. What has been your experience running it?

You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader).

I'm using Kobo Clara 2E (6" screen size), and it is unpleasant to read PDF and CBZ files (comic/manga) since Kobo only provides zoom and orientation mode. I installed KOReader on my Kobo. It has more setup to display those files way better. The views of PDF in KOReader and Comic in Koreader. I read Epub files in Koreader to maintain its original format.

I installed KOReader on my Kobo Clara 2E. KOReader is a document viewer to read PDFs and manga/comics. KOReader has more setup to display fixed-layout format in a way that is better than the native Kobo display (Kobo stock).

It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.

It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard" that shows how fast you read (words per minute). Fun competition between my wife and I (that I'm 100% losing). It's a Progressive Web App and utilizes a Service Worker to support 100% offline reading as well.

There's a demo server [2] (creds are "demo" for both user & pass).
