If your eReader can't connect to wifi right now or you have lots of books and it's too slow to sync via wifi, you can connect eReader to your computer and transfer books via Kobo Desktop Reading App - Kobo for PC/Mac App.

Step 1: Connect Kobo to Your Computer via USB

When Kobo is connected to computer, Kobo eReader will ask if you want to connect to your computer to manage files. After select 'Connect', Kobo device will appear 'Connected and charged', and Windows can detect the new connected device.

Step 2: Open Kobo Desktop Reading App on Your Computer

After opening your Kobo for PC or Mac reading app, you will find navigation bar 'EREADER' is available, then click 'LIBRARY', all your existing books will show up, including books currently on your eReader or computer.

Step 3: Adding Books to Your Kobo eReader

Click the cover of books which you want to transfer, then hit 'ADD TO EREADER'.

The selected books will be transferred to your Kobo eReader soon. When all the books are transferred, eject your Kobo. Click 'Library' in your Kobo eReader 'Home'page. You will find books you have just added.

Case 2: Transfer Kobo ePub Books Between two Kobo eReaders

In fact, you can't transfer Kobo ePub Books to another Kobo eReader directly, since the book is Kepub file and protected by DRM. Fortunately, there is a useful tool Kindle Transfer, which can help you make it. With Kindle Transfer, you can transfer ePub books between two Kobo eReaders. You can also use this tool to transfer books from Kobo to computer or from computer to Kobo eReader.

It is easy to use. Just connect the two eReaders to your computer with USB cable, select eBooks which you want to transfer, and choose the target Kobo device, then click 'Transfer' button. Within a few seconds, books will be transferred to another eReader.

Case 3: Copy DRM-Free ePub Books to Kobo with USB Directly

If you have downloaded some DRM-free ebooks from the internet, such as torrent site or free ebook giveaway website, the easiest way to transfer them to your Kobo is to copy them to Kobo with USB.

Step 1: Connect Kobo eReader to computer using USB. Tap 'Connect' in your Kobo device.

Step 2: Open 'Computer' in your desktop. Double-click 'KOBOeReader'. Then it will show the contents of your eReader.

Step 3: Open another folder which stores your ePub books or PDF files. Then just drag books which you want to transfer to your Kobo eReader contents folder.

Note: For you own Kobo books, the folder is hidden on your computer as default, you need to change the folder option to make the hidden files and folders visible.

For ACSM files, you have to open them with ADE to convert acsm to ePub first, then transfer them to your Kobo via USB. (Kobo must be authorized with the same Adobe account).

Case 4: Transfer ePub Books from Adobe Digital Editions

Kobo Desktop Reading App For Mac

If your ePub books are purchased from Google Play books, Kobo and Sony website, or other online ebook stores, you can use Adobe Digital Editions to add ePub books to Kobo, especially for Adobe DRM protected books.

1Transfer ePub Books to Kobo From Adobe Digital Editions

Step 1: Install Adobe Digital Editions, and then authorize with the same Adobe ID (the same email address as your kobo account).

Step 2:Connect Kobo eReader to your computer. ADE will detect your device automatically.

Step 3: You can click 'File'-->'Add to Library' at the upper left corner to add books you want to transfer. Or just drag your EPUB books to the main interface of ADE.

Note: If you find an ebook with .acsm extension, it would be protected by Adobe DRM. You need to convert acsm to epub at first.

Step 4: Select your epub files and drag them to the Kobo eReader bookshelf (listed on the left side under Bookshelves).

2Transfer DRM-protected ePub books to Kobo

DRM protection limits you to use the same Adobe ID within your accounts. So if you think it's annoying, you can search the Internet and find a good tool that can help you remove Adobe DRM.

You can use Calibre DRM Removal plugin, if you are an professional computer user. Or some other more easy-to-use tools with better user-friendly interface.

Of course there are many software that can work. Here I would recommend Epubor Ultimate to you. It's the best eBook DRM Removal and the best eBook Converter.

Just drag and drop the EPUB books to the main interface of Epubor Ultimate, choose the output format as PDF or EPUB format.

Tip: If you have opened your EPUB books with ADE, Epubor Ultimate will automatically detect and display them on the left side under the 'Adobe' tab.

With Epubor Ultimate you can transfer DRM-protected ePub books to Kobo. It's the easiest way and the best way because you don't have to check whether your ePub books are DRM free or DRM protected.

Case 5: Transfer ePub Books from Other eReaders to Kobo.

1. Transfer Kindle books to Kobo eReader.

Kindle Books are protected by Kindle DRM in Kindle format, so you can't transfer them to Kobo normally. But there is a way to do it.

Read the detail guide:Transfer Kindle Books to Kobo.

2. Transfer Nook books to Kobo eReader.

If you want to read Nook eBooks on Kobo eReader, you need to remove Nook DRM protections at first, then add the DRM free books to Kobo. You can use Epubor Nook DRM Removal to remove Nook DRM.

Read the detail guide:A Comprehensive Guide on How to Remove Nook DRM.

Which Emulator Should I Use?

If you’re going to follow my recommendation then I suggest you go with NOX because it’s quite simple and easy to understand. You don’t have to panic yourself for anything it will teach after every step for once to guide about how this Emulator works.

If it didn’t work for you then you can search for its alternative android emulators, the best alternative of NOX is BlueStack. It is also good and worth to use only if NOX didn’t work for you.
