If you're an avid e-book reader, you probably own a Kobo e-reader. Kobo allows you to carry a library of books with you wherever you go. But what if you have books stored on your PC that you'd like to transfer to your Kobo device? In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to upload books from your PC to Kobo.
Step 1: Connect your Kobo to your PC
To start transferring books, you'll need to connect your Kobo device to your PC using a USB cable. Once connected, your PC will detect the Kobo device and display it as a connected device in File Explorer.
Step 2: Open File Explorer
Open File Explorer on your PC by pressing the Windows key and E simultaneously. Alternatively, you can right-click on the Start button and select "File Explorer" from the context menu.
Step 3: Locate your e-books
In the File Explorer window, navigate to the folder where your e-books are stored. This is usually the "Documents" or "Downloads" folder on your PC, but you may have saved your books in a different location.
Step 4: Select and copy the e-books
Click on the first e-book you want to upload, then hold the Shift key and click on the last e-book to select multiple items. If you want to select individual e-books, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on each e-book. Once you've selected your desired e-books, right-click on one of the selected files and choose "Copy" from the context menu.
Step 5: Paste the e-books into your Kobo
Return to the File Explorer window displaying your Kobo device. Double-click on the Kobo device to open it. Right-click inside the Kobo window and select "Paste" from the context menu. The selected e-books will now be copied from your PC to your Kobo device. This may take a few moments depending on the size and number of e-books.
Step 6: Safely eject your Kobo
Once the e-book transfer is complete, it's essential to safely disconnect your Kobo device from your PC. Right-click on your Kobo device in File Explorer and choose "Eject" from the context menu. Wait until you see a notification confirming that it's safe to remove the device before physically disconnecting the USB cable.
