Hi guys
I have a Kobo Glo circa 2012. For the basic function of just reading, I love it ![]() As I sideload my books from Calibre this is obviously a problem. However, last year when this happened I got some advice from some lovely folks on this forum and started to use the content server wireless connection feature. Great. With using an SD card as an optional extra. ![]() Now, a couple of weeks ago the download feature on the Kobo via the content server wireless connection feature stopped working ![]() Ok, so I still have a micro SD card to use, so I did. A few times, no problem. ![]() Then, all of a sudden yesterday, after using the card to upload a book a couple of days before, I got a message on the Kobo telling me that it couldn't read the card. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can anyone offer any advice please? ![]() I have ordered a new SD card so hopefully this solves that issue, but am losing my mind over this. It would be one thing If I couldn't read anything on the device, but to be able to read stuff but not be able to load on content of my own in a format of my choice is beyond frustrating! ![]() ![]() |

The download function is broken in recent firmware versions but was fixed in the 9960 build.

Exactly what you should do depends on the firmware version you are running. This is shown on the "Device information" page of the settings. There has been two recent problems with the external SD card. One is with sideloading kepubs onto it, the other is the card is ignored if it doesn't have a label. I cannot think of any other issues. Both of these problems have been fixed in later firmware. I do occasionally get a problem when inserting the card, but it usually means I fumbled when I was inserting the card and it didn't register properly. When this happens, the message I see is frequently the message you are seeing. Popping it out and back in always solves this. It is possible that a firmware update has dropped support for FAT16 formatted SD cards. All of mine are formatted as FAT32, so I wouldn't have hit this problem. It could also be Windows messing with the card in a way that the device doesn't like (yes, if all else fails, blame Windows ![]() |
