Downloading eBooks from the official Kobo bookstore is easy. But what if you want to buy your books from someplace else? Or even get your books for free from somewhere like Project Gutenberg? How do you move those books from your desktop to your Kobo Wireless eReader?

Well, as it turns out, there are a number of ways to do it. The clip below presents an in-depth overview of three of them: Calibre, a powerful open-source eBook management application; Digital Editions, Adobe's Flash-based eBook client; and the good old Windows Explorer.

Which of the three options is right for you? It depends on your needs. If you just want to drag the books to your eReader and be done with it, then the Explorer method is best. If, on the other hand, you want to manipulate metadata and add cover art, Calibre is your ticket.

Does this work for the kobo vox I cant find the kobo on the Adobe digital I am having trouble Down loading my books they seem to be on tha kobo and they disappear when I am reading them

To GERDA:
I think you should make sure that you are using the same Adobe ID (the same email address as your kobo account) in ADE.

So you will find the Kobo on ADE, then try to copy your files to your eReader in your library.
