Koreader only for cloud sync

LnZ · 02-20-2019, 03:30 PM

Is it possible to use Koreader only to sync books from dropbox and my reader? What I would like to do is being able to read my synchronized ebooks on the default reader software of my kobo forma, how do I access Koreader books from outside?
Thank

You might want to wait till someone who uses the stock software arrives. I don't use Kobo's reading software, just KOReader. But you should be able to make the download directory one that Nickel can see. Then you restart your device & Nickel should process the book files into the database that feeds the Kobo readers, the book info and allows them to be read.

As long as your library isn't in a hidden (dotfolder) folder, you're good to go.

Although you're probably better off with a standalone CLI syncing tool, because that feels like a gross workaround

Thank you both for the answers, indeed I was just placing the downloaded book in the wrong folder.
