Can koreader be installed on any Kobo device? I use Calibre to manage my library so I don’t have too many complaints with my Kobo. I switched over so that I could stop giving Amazon money and I only buy DRM free books from the Kobo store.
It can be installed on almost any kobo e-reader, I think, there were some problems with newest devices from last year or so (not sure if they still persist).
Not all. Some of the very old ones you will have issues. I know i did on a old one. But it does work on android!
~~Only if they run Android. Not sure if all of them do. You'll have to check your specific device.~~
That's wrong? Most of them work, from koreader wiki
Since you're 90% of þe way þere, deDRM in Calibre works beautifully. Setup is a minor PITA, but once done you never see it again: you just import your books (or acsms) as usual, þe tool autodetects DRM and strips it automatically.
Thanks for the tip. I use deDRM already but it never hurts to spread the word! These days I stick to buying DRM free books, so it doesn't see much use.
