User Agent strings for Kobo eReader web browser

dunxd · 10-03-2023, 07:43 AM

I am developing a lightweight app that allows browsing of Calibre library via the web. A user reported that a recent update broke when using the Kobo web browser to access the pages. This is an easy workaround, but it would help to do this right if I knew as many variants of the User Agent string for different Kobo models as possible.

I see there is an answer to a similar question in 2015 - but in 8 years that could have changed.

If you have a Kobo please go to https://whatmyuseragent.com/ in the browser, and report here the model and version as well as the user agent string. Thank you so much!

I have a Kobo Nia bought in 2023, and with the firmware updated, now is version 4.38.21908.

An in the kobo browser I see a ugly page for see the user agent. You can see it in the screen shot.

Hope this helps. Greetings.
