Wireless and USB transfer
I love that fact that Calibre can wireless send files to my Kindle. But, sometimes I want to use the USB cable. Is it possible to choose wireless transfer as the default option unless Kindle is connected via USB?
Thanks, Mark |

When I want to send wirelessly I click Connect/Share and email the document to my Kindle.
When I want to send via USB I plug it in and wait for Calibre to recognize the device, then a new icon appears on the Toolbar and I click "Send to Device." |

You beat me to it, i was going to suggest the same thing - when i press on send to my device, email it to my kindle account or via USB when connected.
But Calibre forum seems like more logical place to place this suggestion |

Thanks. The problem is that I basically want Calibre to send it to Kindle wirelessly, but not always. However, the situation is now that as soon as Calibre has downloaded a file it will send it to Kindle, even when it is connected with a cable.
I guess after a file is downloaded you choose to send it wirelessly? But it is possible to send it wirelessly by default... unless Kindle is USB-connected? The default wireless option is useful in case I am away from home but in a wifi-area. I can ask my girlfriend to run Calibre, simple as that, no need to click anything. But when I am home, I sometimes want to transfer a file via USB without changing the default wireless setting. And I am not sure that's possible...? |
