![]() You can add or remove books on the device right from Calibre, just as if the device was physically connected. If you want to add a book to the device from Calibre, then click (in Calibre) on “Send to device” just as you described when there is a cable connection. On the device Calibre Companion shows the books already on the device. Calibre even has a column on the left (labeled “On device”) that shows check marks for the books that are already on the device. The result is that Calibre behaves just like you described in your previous post on connecting devices using a cable. ![]() Instead I connect using “Start wireless connect” in Calibre and the Calibre Companion Android app on my Nexus 7. So I can’t connect the Nexus 7 to Calibre via a cable. I use Calibre Companion all the time on my Nexus 7 since that device uses new Microsoft technology to connect via cable to your computer and Macs don’t support this technology. Look for an app review article about it in the coming weeks. I haven’t used the app yet, but I plan to buy it and test it out. If any reader knows how and would like to share, feel free to add it in the comments.Īstute readers no doubt noticed another option under ‘Connect/Share’: “Start wireless device connection.” Using that feature requires the Calibre Companion app, available on Google Play or Amazon. Can you access your library from a remote location? Apparently, yes, but you’ll have to set up port forwarding on your router. ![]() What I’ve been showing you supposes that your device and library are on the same wireless network. Note that it does seem to take longer to download than when I get a book from Amazon, but it does work. You can select a compatible format and download, just like on a tablet. It’s not very fast (OK, it’s actually deadly slow), but here’s what it looks like on my Kindle: And better than USB cords, right? Remember, this works on your Wi-Fi-equipped E Ink reader as well. Notice that you can see all your tags? And the box at the top of the screen? Yes, you can filter by tags, author or title to find exactly the books you’d like. Open the book in the e-reading app of your chosing, and you’re ready to go. Your Calibre library, right there, including all tags and formats available for each book! You can tap the format you’d like, and download right from here.Įasy as that. No reason to make hackers’ lives that much easier! Please don’t take offense at me blacking out my own IP address. Enter your computer’s IP address in the URL box, using this format, where “x” is your IP address. Then fire up a browser on a tablet, smartphone or even on an E Ink reader that supports Web browsing. This post discusses a more “advanced” and seriously cool feature: Using Calibre’s Content Server to manage your library wirelessly, no cords needed! Up until now, we’ve covered mostly basic stuff.

I also have Koreader installed to run via KFmon, but I have nothing set there to mess with USB.Ĥ. I do have my Kobo patched with some of the "standard" patch changes, but nothing that impacts on USB as far as I know. I am not sure what could be impacting on udev rules. Once KU has been run, then the error message pops up after each USB ejection.ģ. (It seemed to be looking to run the KU update metadata process - FYI, the laptop I connect to for testing does not have my Calibre installation to avoid any chance of a Calibre USB connection spooking it.)Ģ. However, after I then ran KU, a USB connection/eject produced the error message. adds/kfmon/log/kfmon_dump.log).ġ I did not get the error when my Clara was connected and ejected on USB after a fresh reboot (tested several times). Mind posting the KFMon log *after* the next time that happens? (tap KFMon's "book", it'll flood your screen, and copy the log to. I assume you don't have anything else installed that would be messing with udev rules? (i.e., if you cold boot the device, and do a simple connect/eject session without having ever touched KU in that boot session)? Mouse: About the USB eject thing, does it happen on *every* USB eject?
