Might be that Calibre just can connect to one device (or folder) at a time.
So it should be available again when you disconnect your Kindle. This is actually how I do it, I connect to a folder on my computer, then I use the Windows utility robocopy to sync this folder to my two Kobos. |

Now everything works perfectly well almost The only problem I am facing now is the following: 1. I search for books using the FM search books command. It finds the books correctly and can even open them. 2. However, if I try to use the search command again, the FM exits and comes back to KUAL. Just a minor nuisance Anyway, thanks to the excellent support I received from the forum members |

@NiLuJe these are the contents of crash.log. Hopefully, this gets fixed soon

Undocumented PDF viewer options in nightly Kindle builds
While testing the PDF viewer I stumbled upon the following undocumented options whose function is not obvious from the context:
1. Settings > Writing Direction > LTR, RTL, TBRTL What does TBRTL do? (Note that the Document Language option is flush with the left screen border. Ideally, all options should be moved a couple of pixels to the right. Or simply shorten Document Language to Language.) 2. Page Crop > manual, auto, semi-auto What's the difference between the auto and semi-auto options? (Note that the auto and semi-auto buttons partially overlap each other.) |

Yesterday pressing "browse tags" caused also a crash for me on PW2 (I returned back to the list of books view, with no refresh, when I touched the unchanged screen, one of my books was revealed and opened.) Shoudl I search for logs, or this feature is yet experimental?

@mmjoshi, do you use tags in Calibre?
If your metadata.koreader file (in the temp dir) is not too big, can you zip it send it to me in PM? Then I can try searching with your book-data. |

I got mmjoshi's file. But I still am not able to reproduce this issue. So I guess it is Kindle-related. I am afraid I can't help at all here.

KOReader OTA on Kindle PW2
I've tried to update to the latest nightly build (688) using the OTA option in filemanager. I get the prompt to verify I want to update to 688, then the message about the download taking some minutes. After a short time, the downloading message disappears but when I check the version installed, it still shows the older one (605). I also don't see the OPDS menu that should be in 688 so it's clear the OTA update didn't work. The header of the koreader-kindle-latest-nightly.zsync file says 688 so it appears the update was downloaded, just not applied. I also tried using the update koreader option in KUAL after doing the OTA download but that says there is no update file. I'm sure I'm missing something but I can't figure out what it is. I manually updated to 688 so I can't recreate the problem until there is a newer nightly. Thanks.
