Kobo App - Trying to login with Walmart account
When I installed the PC-based Kobo app in August 2022, I set it up with a gmail account that I also use to buy books through the Kobo web site. Recently I linked a Walmart account, which uses a different gmail email address, to the Kobo online bookstore. The online stuff works fine, and I was able to buy a book with the second account on 9/11.
However, the PC-based Kobo app is more finicky about multiple users. After logging out of the initial account for the PC-based Kobo app, I attempted to login with Sign In and Link option (using Walmart gmail email address) and the app threw this error: Something went wrong, please try again. I realize there are workarounds that bypass the Kobo app for downloading purchases, but this is inconvenient. Is this due to the Kobo app being tied to a specific reader? |
