I have a Kobo ereader. I assumed that it can read most ebooks and able to install library apps. The librarian helped me to setup overdrive but she said Kobo is not for Hoopla. Is there anyway that I can get Hoopla to work on my Kobo?
Unfortunately, Kobo devices don't natively support the Hoopla app, so you can't read Hoopla books directly on them. But you still have options to borrow Hoopla ebooks that can be read on your Kobo device. To do this, follow this guide to remove DRM from Hoopla books and sideload them onto your Kobo device.
Step 1Download Hoopla eBooks/Comics through Android Studio Emulator
You might wonder why you need an Android emulator to download Hoopla eBooks and comics. The reason is that all desktop DeDRM programs only work with encrypted files downloaded to a computer. However, not all digital content providers, like Hoopla, offer a desktop solution for reading their books. An Android emulator fills this gap by providing a workaround that allows you to download digital content and use a third-party DeDRM program to automatically fetch the downloaded files. Alternatively, if you're tech-savvy, you can manually transfer the downloaded files from the Android emulator to your computer.
Let's follow this step-by-step guide to download Hoopla eBooks and comics using the Android Studio Emulator.
Step 2Download and Install Epubor Hoopla Converter to Complete the Task
Epubor Hoopla Converter is the robust third-party tool you need to automatically fetch downloaded Hoopla files, remove Hoopla DRM, and convert them to DRM-free EPUB or PDF formats.
