Request to support the wifi Xoom

Not sure if it's different than the 3g/4g Xoom
Basic Android support should be fine. Maybe someday Google will realize that allowing sideloading of books into Google Books is a good idea.

ccording to that debug output your device is not being detected as a disk drive by the operating system, in such a case, calibre cannot support it.h

I was afraid that might be the case. Windows 7 sees it as a device, and is able to copy files etc, but it doesn't map as a drive letter.

Calibre won't save-to-disk with it either

I guess I'm stuck using the content server.

Calibre won't save to your device but save to disk works fine. After you save to a directory you can then use Windows 7 to send the files as you state above.

I noticed in the changelog for 0.7.55:
Device drivers for Viewpad 7, Motorola Xoom and Asus Eee Note

My Xoom still isn't detected, and I see no obvious PlugIn for it under the devices section.

The Xoom wants to work with Microsoft's MTP protocol still. AFAIK, there's no support for removable drive mode. I had assumed the driver was to make it work in MTP mode.

Should this be working now? My Xoom is running the latest build, which I don't think is being pushed out yet, it's only recently been announced, so I'm not sure if something has changed there.

Code:
Version: 0.7.58

The Xoom would probably be supported in the Android driver. It has to be connected to the computer as a removable drive in order for Calibre to be able to connect to it. I don't know who built the support based on what version of the software, but if you can't connect as a removable drive, you're out of luck.

It's not that I'm not able to, it's a case of the device doesn't do it. Since there was specific mention of drivers being added to support Xoom, my assumption was that those drivers were intended to support the mode it does use (MTP), otherwise why mention it.

I'm simply looking for clarification on the status of the driver. I suspect it might be a linux'ism, because I think linux users have a means of mounting the Xoom as a removable drive, whereas Windows users are not.

The release note suggests it should work now, it doesn't appear to.

MTP devices are not supported in calibre. The driver is just present against the time when (if ever) the Xoom gets USB disk mode support.

Thanks for the clarification. I won't spend any more time trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong.

Hopefully when Google finally adds sdcard support back into Honeycomb, removable disk support will return as well.
