Caution: Sync ### Store purchases If you want to maintain access to the official Kobo store on the device, you can set the **Proxy unknown requests to Kobo Store** checkbox. When syncing, we will try to sync against both the official Kobo Store as well as Calibre-Web's library. +### Changing Kobo devices +If a user moves to a new Kobo device (such as when upgrading to new hardware) and keeps the same sync token, make sure to trigger `Force full kobo sync` in that user's settings. Without this, the sync to the new device will only include new books and those not already synced to the old device. + ## Privacy & Security caution The Kobo device sends out a unique and irrevocable (even across password reset) {device_id; user_id} pair during the Sync protocol. If CalibreWeb is exposed over the internet without SSL, then this id pair could theoretically be stolen (if anyone was bothered to...). As far as I can tell, a malicious individual wouldn't be able to make account changes or purchases, but would be able to download the list of purchased or borrowed books, collections, reading stats, etc.
