Hmm...
So now any books borrowed from a library configured in your OverDrive account will now sync to your Kobo if they are available from Kobo (basically, the ISBNs must match). Last edited by DNSB; 11-18-2023 at 12:01 AM. |

To me that should not have been there. I did not use the Libby app while setting up my Kobo using the steps I detailed and which as the images show, worked. Possibly, a step that was used to check that what account the Libby app was using for the OverDrive connection but unneeded, IMNSHO.

Hey guys, could you discuss this somewhere else, please?
This overdrive / library discussion has nothing to do with this topc. (Maybe a mod can seperate the last 20ish posts into their own thread?) |

The topic is just guesswork. Nobody will really know what Kobo is bringing out until they do. The other thing is that once the thread is basically over, drift can happen.

I come here to this thread checking if there is some solid news on this as I am looking for a replacement for my 7 year old KA1, not to sort through posts on any unrelated subjects, please. |

New Kobo coming? Which?

At any rate, John is bang on. Without official info, there isn’t much to do except speculate about the upcoming Kobo. Keep an eye on the forums, not necessarily this thread. As we get closer to its release day, some new info almost always slips through the cracks. Confirmation comes from different sources. For example, the Clara 2E’s name was leaked when Rukuten’s online store created a placeholder for a case, IIRC. At any rate, scolding people isn’t likely to get the result that you want around here. Just post something ON TOPIC and hope that it nudges the flow back towards the topic. Doesn’t always work though. 😁 Last edited by Cootey; 11-21-2023 at 03:01 AM. |

Going by the 10-12 week delay for previous Kobo models between the first FCC listing and the release date, anyone coming here looking for information on the new Kobo model is more than a touch premature.

1) yes I meant having the app and logging in on your kobo to overdrive 2) I mention Libby because it’s the best way to grab books from multiple libraries. It allows for any contingency other than the library not supporting overdrive in which case the point is moot because you need overdrive support to do this I should have been more clear but I was posting while working and just trying to summarize my older thread on the topic from memory. I also agree that topic drift happens and that right now we’re all just throwing darts in the dark about what the next Kobo will be. And we’re probably wrong about most of the conjectures especially since quite a few of them are mutually exclusive |

About the only guess I can offer is going by the elabel image and assuming 300DPI, the device is likely to be an 8" device so possibly a Sage 2. And please note that I did say guess though that guess has worked on 3 of the last 5 Kobo releases.

When there is solid news, there will be a fresh thread. Or more than one.

Purely anecdotal and probably a heavy dose of confirmation bias...
I have noticed that several times before a Kobo launch some of our most common retailers are out of stock of one model, which just happens to be the model that is replaced some time later. Right now that is the Sage. But, it could just be an effect of "Black Friday month", probably is. -- FWIW, a Sage with a decent battery would probably make me upgrade my Forma. Add something like a newer e-ink screen, and that's a definite yes. |
