kobo to sonyQuestion: I have a Sony eReader and my brother has a Kobo Vox. We both have a lot of eBooks and we would like to share them with each other. But when I plugged his KoboVox into my computer, I can’t drag and drop the books like I usually do. The eBooks of these two eReaders are both ePub, which means that it should not be very difficult to transfer. But now, for whatever reason it is being very hard. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Answer: Transferring Kobo ePub books to Sony eReader, you should authorize your Sony eReader using your Adobe® ID. Sony Reader Library software is also necessary. In this tutorial, we will tell you two options to transfer Kobo ePub to Sony eReader.

Method 1: Read Kobo ePub on Sony Reader with Adobe ID

Have Sony's new eReaders, such as PRS-350 and PRS-650, and upgrade your Sony Reader Library software to the latest version. Authorize your eReader using your Adobe® ID and the Sony Reader Library software. And if you don't have Adobe® ID, you need to create one.

Step 1. Launch the Sony Reader Library software and connect your Sony eReader to your computer via a USB cable.

Step 2. Click "eBook Store" on the left navigation area on the Library, enter your Sony account credentials and click "Sign In".
