If you are like me and are a casual user and don't want to chance rooting it and don't have strong need for android market. Then here is a step by step on how to import your ebooks(where ever you get them from) to your coby.
First let me point out I am sure there are different ways, in fact I tried to follow a way I found on this site but it didn't work.
your ebooks need to have a epub extension, so if you need to convert google calibre--its easy and free
you also need a file manager installed on the kyros, I used "file manger"
I am using the reader laputa 3.o version ( again this method might work with other readers I didn't try)
I could not get this method to work all the way on aldiko, but I am not tech savy.
1
have your ebooks on your pc where you can easily find them
2
insert your microsd card in the kyros
3
if haven't already download on the kyros the book reader
4
if haven't already download on kyros a file manager
5
connect the kyros to the pc via usb
6
on kyros home screen pull down the top menu bar
7
you should see internal and external storage--select the external 8
pop up screen will ask mount or unmount--select mount
9
this should create a pop up on the pc.--select open files
10
you should see the laputa file--select it
11
copy your ebooks to this open folder
12
you can copy one book or a folder(multi titles from same author) 13
back on kyros home screen pull down the top menu bar
14
again select external storage and then select unmount
15
unplug the kyros from your pc
16
open up the file manager
17
locate the sdcard file and select
18
here you should see the books you imported
19
select the book you want and open it
20
once the book has been initial opened then closed
21
open the reader on the home screen or where you keep the apps 22
the book you open should now be( In laputa) on the bookshelf 23
now every time open this book you can do so from here
steps 16 thru 23 only needs to be done once per ebook
I hope this helps
