KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 12
ShoppingFromYoureReader
Your Kobo eReader supports Wi Fi, which is a type of wireless network. By connecting to a
wireless network you can shop at the Kobo Store and download books on the go, without a
computer. You can also synchronize your eReader with your Kobo account, so that your books
and bookmarks are kept up-to-date.
Understandingwirelessnetworks
A wireless network lets you connect to the Internet using radio signals. Because it uses radio
signals, a wireless network has a range. This is the area in which you can connect to the network.
If you are within a wireless network’s range, your eReader will find a strong signal and you
should be able to connect to it without problems. If you are on the edge of the network’s range
(or if there is interference), the network’s signal may be weak and you may have trouble
connecting. If you leave a network’s range while connected to it, you will lose your connection
to the Internet.
Wireless networks are so common that depending on where you are, there may be several
wireless networks in the area.
UsingyoureReaderwithawirelessnetwork
Your Kobo eReader lets you connect to Wi Fi wireless networks in order to access the Kobo
Store. To set up a network connection, all you need to do is press the SHOP button. This brings
up a menu, from which you can select SHOP NOW. Your eReader will check to see if you’re
connected to a wireless network, and if you aren’t it will prompt you to connect.
It automatically scans your area for available wireless networks, and lists these in two sections –
KNOWN NETWORKS and UNKNOWN NETWORKS.
Known Networks are networks in your area that you’ve connected to before. Unknown Networks
are networks that are available, but that you have never used.
If you have used Wi Fi before, your eReader will automatically reconnect you to a Known
Network when you try to visit the Kobo Store. For example, if you have a wireless network at
home that you normally access from your eReader, it will reconnect to this network when you
come home from work and start shopping for a new book.
If there are several Known Networks in your area, your eReader will automatically connect to
the one with the strongest signal in order to give you the best connection.
ConnectingtotheKoboStoreviaawirelessInternetconnection(WiFi)
In order to shop from your Kobo eReader, you need to set up a wireless (Wi Fi) Internet
connection to the Kobo Store. To do this all you need is your eReader and access to a wireless
network in your area.
To connect to the Kobo Store from your eReader:
1. Press the SHOP button.
2. Select SHOP NOW.
Your Kobo eReader lists any wireless networks it finds in your area.
3. Highlight and select the network you want to join.
Some networks are secured. If you select a secure network, your eReader will prompt you
for a network password. Enter it and click JOIN.

KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 13
(See “Using a secure network” for more information.)
That’s it! Once connected, your eReader will take you directly to the Kobo Store.
Usingasecurenetwork
Some wireless networks use security to control who can use the network, and to encrypt
information sent over the network. If you see a lock icon next to a network name on your Kobo
eReader, this means that the network is secured. You will need a password to use the network.
There are different types of security used by wireless networks. The Kobo eReader supports
WEP, WPA, and WPA2 Personal.
If you choose a secure network from your eReader’s list of KNOWN NETWORKS or UNKNOWN
NETWORKS, you will see a password prompt. To use the secure network:
1. Enter the network password using the virtual keyboard.
2. Click JOIN.
If you enter the password correctly and your eReader successfully connects to the network, it
will add the network to your KNOWN NETWORKS list and automatically take you to the Kobo
Store.
If your eReader cannot connect to the network for some reason, it will return you to the password
prompt. Check that you entered your password correctly and try re-joining the network.
Addinganewnetwork
Some networks are hidden, and your eReader will not find them when it scans your area for new
networks. If you want to use a hidden network, you can manually add it to your eReader’s list of
KNOWN NETWORKS. To do this you will need to know:
•the network name
•the type of security it uses
•a password for the network
NOTE: You must be within range of the hidden network in order to join it.
ToconfigureanewnetworkonyoureReader
1. Press the SHOP button.
2. Select WIRELESS SETTINGS.
3. Navigate to the ADD NETWORK button.
Your eReader will prompt you to enter information about the network.
4. Enter the network’s name, which is also called its SSID.
5. Choose the type of security used by the network.
The Kobo eReader can connect to networks that use WEP, WPA, or WPA2 Personal
security.
6. Enter a password for the network.
7. Click JOIN NETWORK.
If your eReader successfully connects to the hidden network, it will add the network to

KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 14
your KNOWN NETWORKS list and automatically take you to the Kobo Store.
If your eReader cannot connect to the network for some reason, it will return you to the
setup page. Check that you entered all of the network details correctly and try re-joining
the network.
NavigatingtheeReaderStore
You navigate the STORE pages the same way you navigate other eReader screens. Press up and
down on the Navigation Pad to move up and down on the page. Highlight an item, then press the
center button to select it.
At the top of the page you’ll find a series of links to popular parts of the Kobo Store. To use these
links, press up on the Navigation Pad until the first link is highlighted, then press left or right to
select the link you’re interested in.
The main Store links include:
•HOME – takes you to the main STORE page from other parts of the Kobo Store. You’ll
find the day’s hottest books featured in the Top 50 list, links to the most popular
categories and recommended reading lists, and a selection of featured books.
•BROWSE CATEGORIES – lets you browse for a specific type of book.
•RECOMMENDED READS – shows you lists of books that share a common theme, or
that come recommended by other readers.
•FREE – shows a list of free books available through the Kobo Store.
You can even search for a specific book. Press the MENU button, then select SEARCH from under
STORE.
To get more information on a book, highlight and select its title. Your eReader will display a
synopsis of the book, and its rating.
Buyingabookforthefirsttime
Once you find a book that interests you, select the BUY NOW link to purchase it.
Your eReader will prompt you to sign in or create a new account.
•To sign in, use the virtual keyboard to enter the email address associated with your
Kobo account, and your password. Click SIGN INto continue.
•If you don’t have a Kobo account, select GET STARTED to create one. You’ll be
prompted to choose and enter a valid email address and password for your new account.
Fill in the fields on the CREATE ACCOUNT screen, then click CREATEACCOUNT.
NOTE: When you click CREATE ACCOUNT, you automatically agree to the Kobo
Terms of Service.
Your eReader checks to see if you have credit card information on file. If not, the CHECKOUT –
PAYMENT screen will appear. Enter your credit card details, then click CONTINUE. On the
CHECKOUT –BILLING screen, enter the address associated with your credit card. Click
CONTINUE when you’re done.
Kobo automatically saves your payment and billing information so that you only need to fill in
these fields the first time you buy a book.
Once you’re all set, the CHECKOUT –VERIFY screen appears, showing the book you chose and a
summary of your payment details. Make certain everything looks okay, then select BUY NOW to

KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 15
complete your purchase. Your eReader downloads your new book. You’ll find it in the BOOKS
and I’M READING areas.
TIP: You can also access your new book on your computer using the Kobo
Desktop Application, or on smartphones and tablets that support the free Kobo
applications. Just sign in on your computer or device and update your library.
In the future, all you need to do to buy books is select an item’s BUY NOW link in the Kobo Store.
Since your payment and billing information is now stored, your eReader will take you directly to
the CHECKOUT –VERIFY screen to complete your purchase.
Updatingcreditcardinformation
If you need to update the credit card information you use when shopping the Kobo Store, the
easiest way is to visit kobobooks.com. Just sign in to change your billing information online.
Synchronizingyourlibraryandbookmarks
If you read and shop for books using the Kobo Desktop Application or one of the free Kobo
applications for smartphones, then you may want to synchronize your eReader with these
applications.
Synchronizing involves updating your Kobo account with information about the books you have
bought and the books you’re reading. It ensures that your bookmarks and purchased books are
kept up-to-date and available to you no matter how you access them.
For example, lets say you start reading a book on your eReader but later switch to the Kobo
Desktop Application. In this case syncing your bookmarks ensures that the Kobo Desktop
Application knows which page you last read in your book.
This also works for books you purchase from the Kobo Store. For example, lets say you bought a
book using a Kobo app on your smartphone, but later want to read it on your eReader.
Synchronizing ensures that your Kobo account has a list of all the books you’ve purchased, so
that when you connect and synchronize you can update your library with copies. In this case
your eReader would automatically download your new book when you synchronized it. It will
even get your bookmarks so that you can continue reading where you left off on your
smartphone.
NOTE: Your eReader can only synchronize books that you’ve purchased through
the Kobo Store.
Synchronizing is easy. All you need to synchronize is a Kobo account and access to a wireless
network.
To synchronize your library and bookmarks:
1. Press the SHOP button.
2. Highlight and select UPDATE LIBRARY.
If you’re not connected to a nearby wireless network, you’ll be prompted to either
join an existing network or add a new network.
If you’re not signed in to your Kobo account, the SIGN INscreen appears. Create
an account or sign in.
You will see a SYNCHRONIZING screen while your eReader connects to the Kobo Store
and updates your account with library and bookmark information.

KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 16
ChangingYoureReaderSettings
Your eReader stores useful information that you may need to update or verify occasionally. To
access your eReader’s settings, press the MENU button and then select SETTINGS. If you are in
the process of reading a book or document you will need to leave your book and go back to the
I’M READING or BOOKS pages first.
The SETTINGS area lets you work with the date and time, review device information, and restore
your eReader to its original settings.
Settingsoverview
The SETTINGS OVERVIEW page shows useful information about your Kobo account and eReader.
This information includes:
•EMAIL:This is the email address for your Kobo account. Any content purchased from
Kobo is associated with this account.
•ONBOARD STORAGE:This is the amount of space currently being used to store books

settings. This type of reset will:

Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston,
MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU
Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software
packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to
use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or
the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on
the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get
the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to
the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library
and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you
this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free

KOBOEREADERUSERGUIDE 20
library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should
know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author’s reputation will
not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to
make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a
version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public
License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated
libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We
use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into
non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the
combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library.
The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax
criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the
user’s freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software
developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the
reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser
license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use
of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs
must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a
free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General
Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater
number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating
system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does
ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the
wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close
attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the
library”. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined
with the library in order to run.
