Kobo eReader basics

Turn your Kobo eReader on and off

The power button is located on the side of the eReader.

You can turn your eReader off or put it to sleep when you’re not

reading. Both help your battery last longer.

The main difference is that when you put your eReader to sleep

and then wake it up, you go directly back to the last screen you

saw. This could be a page in the book, the Kobo Store, or an area

in your library. If you turn your eReader off, you’ll go back to

your Home page when you turn it on again.

Note that putting your eReader to sleep can interrupt things like

library syncing and wireless connections.

Charge your eReader

Before using your Kobo eReader for the first time, you should

charge it for at least one hour.

depending on how frequently you use your eReader. Charge

your Kobo eReader with the supplied cable if possible.

Follow these steps to charge your eReader.

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Connect your cable to your eReader and your computer.

You can continue reading while your eReader charges. The

battery's charge status appears in the top-right corner of the

screen.

6

You can also charge your Kobo eReader with any 5V, 2.0A USB

adapter.

Note: If you're travelling to a country with different electrical

systems, be sure you have the proper converter before you

charge your Kobo eReader using a power outlet.
