However I did get 'unable to open database file' errors when I tried to do more than 1 change at a time. I think I'll just delete my library and start over again, will probably go faster in the long run. But at least the code is there and it will be all sorted the way I want when I'm done, so thank you again! |

At last, thank you Peter, I finally managed to find out why my books were not in authors' alphabetical order. I had used Author Sort in Calibre's Plugboard & of course needed just Author - simple when you realise why!!
Suggestions for new solftware update - I agree the authors or library list in some form of alphabetical grouping would be good. The slide bar is too vague & if you have lots of books in your library it can be pot luck to find the author's surname without trawling through pages. The shortlist helps but if you read a lot of books, you arent always sure which you are going to read next. |

My first post, so forgive me if I've goofed up in some way...I'm trying to follow the instructions about converting library books with teeny tiny fonts, but I can't find a download of FreeZip that will work...any suggestions? Thanks

Library books have DRM to provide the timeout for checkout from the library. You should be able to simply zoom the book by selecting a larger font. What format are you checking out? What exactly are you trying to do?

On most books we've installed you can indeed just change the fonts. However, on the ePUBs from the library, there is no font adjustment option. You can install the book, but the bifocals have not yet been invented that will allow you to read it!

In particular, what is needed is a temporary bookmark which you can exchange for the current page back and forth until it is cancelled. This is one of the main simple ways people use bookmarks while reading a complex text. The bookmarks as a whole should be in an editable structure where the bookmarks are tagged and can be displayed in a tree structure not a list (just the like books, of course). |

I have some old pdf files in Kobo. In the new version of Kobo, when I add a PDF file, it shows its first page, which is very handy. In older version of Kobo, this was not the case, so all my old documents (about 100 of them) show up as just the letter "PDF". Is there a way to make sure Kobo shows me the visual for each of those older PDFs? Thanks.

It may help if you tell us what version of Calibre, which model of reader, and what operating system is on your computer.
Using Calibre 0.6.x or 0.7.x on Linux the Kobo Ereader (Wi Fi version) shows up in Calibre without doing anything special. I don't use Windows or Macintosh with Calibre, so I can't tell you about those two systems. |

I have been reading PDF files in my KOBO e-reader and I would try the tips here to convert the file into Adobe Digital editions to make it easier on the eyes,
I have several Adobe Acrobat files that are in the KOBO e-reader and it will be easier if I saved them as Adobe DIgital Edition files then put them in my e-reader so I can change the font. Is this possible? |
