Hi Davidfor!
Could I also request a link to the n647 firmware? My vintage kobo refused to work after updating to 1.9.12 :-( |

Hi Davidfor
Can I please get a copy of the firmware for N647B? It looks like it wont connect to wifi and see my books, if I can reset it maybe I can solve both issues.
Thanks |

Kobo dropped support for older devices such as the WiFi about 3.5 years ago. This was because they had to remove older security protocols from their servers as they were no longer considered secure. Since then, I do not think the WiFi can connect to the server to get books. I think the support is still in the desktop app, but, I am not sure. Kobo did send an email out about this at the time and it was discussed a lot at the time and occasionally since. |

Thanks! Ok sorry maybe I should have clarified, was not talking about seeing my books on the online store, meant that when I load books in pdf or epub, they don't show up on the N647B which is strange because I see wthem on the computer when I open the Kobo drive. I put them in the root folder and also tried to send to device from Calibre but the result is the same, they are not visible on the device. Do you know if there is another fix or should I just go ahead and reinstall the image? Thanks again. |

Thanks for the reply Davidfor. I was able to get epub files on it without using the image but when I add a pdf, all the files I have added disappear, pdf files should be supported I believe. do you know if there is a filesize limit on Pdfs? The only thing I can think of is that they are too large. Otherwise I can give the image a shot, just thought to ask maybe you know. Thanks again for your help

You mentioned a PM image?
Hello David or other, I hope all is well with you and yours? You said you have sent a PM about an image? I don't understand, or where it is accessible. I have a kobo n647 that somehow I have lost the 1.9.12 driver by doing a hard reset. Now it won't connect with my computer that won't recognize it. I am not sure I am wasting your time, because I am not a developer. I lost all the pre-installed classics somehow before that. I would like to use it with an external SD card (not sure what kind) to read books as it is an old device and I am unable to download books directly onto the reader. Sorry about my lack of knowledge. I hate to discard it if I can get it working. I would be satisfied with 1.9.10, as it apparently is more compatible with external SD cards. It reads epub text documents. I can get books from the library I think. Thank you for any advice, Nikki

@Nikkinoo: You need to enable Private Messaging. This is in the "Edit Options" of the control panel. If this isn't there, it has to be added somehow. You can try posting in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=319819 to ask it to be enabled, or contact a moderator.

@davidfor:
I'd like to add fonts to this reader... Is it possible? Or, generally speaking - I'd like to read books in Ukrainian... I read about some fb2ePub converter but looks like it's long dead... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! |

calibre should have perfectly fine FB2 support, which in turn should allow it to spit out a perfectly serviceable ePub for use on your device.
(Assuming the old, old, old FW releases used on this model had decent Cyrillic coverage/support; that was before my time, so I can't really say. Should behave just fine on anything since the Touch (included), though). |
