Use normal converters, such as freeLib (Caliber floppy).

Yes, that's it. the library on kobo began to fail. I will just push the books that came out of freelib through the finder. they need to throw in the root, by the way?

I use this reader for about a month and a half. Really like.

As I understand it, if you use your own cover, when you close it, the book falls asleep, and when you open it, it wakes up. I, unfortunately, did not initially think and did not buy it with the book; I don’t really want to order separately now, because shipping from abroad is too expensive.

Is there something similar for sale in our country, in Moscow?

I think with such a cover using a book would be more convenient.

[MarinaMo]

Good evening!
I want to buy this book, the question arose
Is this book Russified and, if not, is it possible to do this?

[vadeus]

MarinaMo @ 10.27.2015, 18:33

Russified whether this book

Not.

MarinaMo @ 10.27.2015, 18:33

Is it possible to do this?

Something like thisKobo Glo (Post by serjls # 42305957)or somewhere there look for / ask for a separate patch.

[minlex]

vadeus
Is this patch suitable for Kobo Glo HD? did you succeed?
and then in the browser Russian would be useful on the keyboard

[AhbeiPhu]

I will answer your question.

I managed to find a cover with a magnet in Moscow. The book falls asleep and wakes up when closing and opening. Need to write what and where?

Of course! Without a cover the book is flimsy ...

[AhbeiPhu]

I searched the internet for kobo glo KB-002 keywords.

Found and bought www.1reader.ru/collection/chehly-dlya-kobo/product/chehol-oblozhka-skinbox-slips-sase-dlya-kobo-gloglo-hd-chernyy

The presence of a magnet in the right place checked upon receipt.

The fact that the book is flimsy is an amateur. When at home, I prefer to read without a cover. Of course, if you go somewhere with her, without a cover in any way.

But the fact that she falls asleep, wakes up, I was just looking for it.

By the way, I have never found an answer to the question of how much energy consumption in sleep mode is more than consumption when it is off. No one can poke?

Thank you, I bought myself the sameSkinbox РЎlips РЎase .

Of the benefits - made with high quality, looks good.
Of the minuses - the lid flickers a little, so that spontaneous wakes are possible in your pocket.

Since the cover was originally sharpened by a simple Glo, the slightly wider Glo HD enters it with effort. So take care of the corners of the trough on the left - being under pressure, they are likely to keep the blow worse.

Also a little difficult to access the power button, which, given the ease of pressing it was not a minus.

UPD: The USB connector on our book is located slightly lower than that of Glo, so the plug with a wide rim is not fully inserted (there is a contact, but it easily drops out). Options - to find a wire with a more compact body or a bit to file a cover. The plastic is soft, so the file, skin and GOI paste on a cloth solve the problem ...

AhbeiPhu @ 11/28/2015, 1:18 PM

I have nowhere found an answer to the question of how much energy consumption in sleep mode is more than consumption when it is off.

As for the comparison, I will not say, but the Glo HD turned off for three weeks in the box was discharged by 1%. So hibernating for anyone seems to me less economical ...;)

New firmware3.19.5613. Changes:

• Fix the flashing / refresh issues that were in 3.18.0. This includes the chapter start, post sleep and panning in PDF.
  
• Gothic and Ryumin fonts replace with "Kobo Tsukushi Mincho" and "Kobo UD Kakugo". As far as i can tell, they are identical. Changing their font supplier.
  
• Devices will sleep when plugged in. It should be fixed.
  
• Improvements to Turkish translations.
  
• Japanese reading experience improvements.
  
• Correct book selected for "Current read" search.
  
• If you slept / woke the device quickly.
  
• Large chapters. This is for kepubs with lots of chapters in a single internal file.
  
• Other performance improvements for different formats:
  • pinch to adjust font works.
    
  • on the Aura
    
  • registration by updating the database. Cannot be downloaded without the registration being done.

[kaznelson]

It seems that he is not on friendly terms with fake registration - on Glo HD after installation it crashes with a synchronization error and reboots in a circle ...

[kaznelson]

OnMobileReadThe people got to the bottom of the work fake registration - the fields with user data must be empty (not NULL, this is different). Well, in the menuSettings -> Accounts with Wi-Fi turned on, you should not go after that ...;)

Hello. I want to buy this reader. Help please and give answers to these questions:
1) Books in Russian, how does it reproduce? There is no any kind of quacking and other scabrousness?
2) What should be done immediately after switching on (update the firmware there, etc.)
I will be very happy if someone explains to me in detail.
Sincerely.

[vadeus]

DeadlyM,
1) any "kryakozyabry and other scabrousness" have long been irrelevant when reading the epub;
2) read at least a couple of pages of this topic, even in the topicKobo glothere are all sorts of utility.

1) Books in Russian, how does it reproduce? There is no any kind of quacking and other scabrousness?
2) What should be done immediately after switching on (update the firmware there, etc.)

I advise you to read the caps of those related books - the firmware they are now essentially the same, so that the utility work for all:
Kobo glo / Kobo Aura H2O

1. Problems with the Russian will be except in txt-files with non-unicode encodings.
2. After switching on, you only need to register - everything else is optional.

Here, thanks, it turns outKobo Aura H2OIt is written how to add Russian locale. After this, I don’t need any third-party programs; I’m quite satisfied with it.

P.S. The only thing left is a small problem - it does not cling to Wi-Fi with a hidden SSID, writes an incorrect login, although you don’t need to enter a login there, you probably just don’t know how to work with hidden networks. In general, with wi-fi somehow capriciously the machine behaves.

Dear owners, please answer a couple of questions:
1. How does the backlight turn on in the native shell / in CR?
2. Is the top power button inadvertently pressed in your pocket? What function does it perform in CR? (Sleep?)

I now have a kobo glo, I really like the lock slider, which excludes accidental switching on (as I had in Nook), and a separate backlight button, in the dark you can easily turn it on

[kaznelson]

[email protected], 00:49

How does the backlight turn on in the native shell / in CR?

In the native shell from the top menu, and when reading - a gesture up / down along the left edge of the screen.
In CR, it is customizable - on / off can be hung on the tap-zone, change to gestures.

[email protected], 00:49

Do you accidentally press the top power button in your pocket?

On Glo HD, it’s pretty soft — I’m not saying it in my pocket, but when reading without a cover, there were a lot of random clicks. Now I read in the Glo cover, there are no false clicks.

[email protected], 00:49

What function does it perform in CR? (Sleep?)

Well, yes, sleep. And what else? ..

[simd0472]

Faced a problem on this reader, after a full charge in the evening with WiFi turned off, firmware 3.19.5761 in the morning after checking it is completely discharged. I noticed this problem after syncing and installing a new firmware. How to solve a problem ?

This is a huge minus - quickly puts the battery.
By the way, I forgot to ask one more question: how correctly is the charge level displayed?
