Any Kobo issues?
I've been frustrated with the amazon ecosystem for a while now (for all the usual reasons) and the sideloading issues with my Kindle on 5.18.5 are finally a deal-breaker for me.
I'm about to breakdown and get a Kobo Clara Color and was wondering if anyone has had any sideload issues with it (or any other Kobo) with Calibre? My understanding is that Calibre recently added native support for Kobo so it shouldn't require any complicated setup (which I'm willing to do if needed, it's just a bonus if I don't have to).
I have a huge Calibre library and plan to use the Kobo almost exclusively for sideloaded content but I still occasionally get library books so the Libby integration is a bonus.
Is there a working DeDRM plugin for Kobo if I buy ebooks from them?
