Books from Calibre to Ipad mini
I have followed all instructions, and the books are just not showing up on the iPad...I am feeling quite frustrated, and stupid!

There is also an optional Apple iDevice driver available for calibre. If you've installed that driver and your Mini is not recognized, follow the instructions in that post to report your Mini's USB profile. Please post any calibre-related followup in the calibre forum.

mollyf, you can just put your Calibre folder inside Dropbox or SugarSync on your main computer, and then all of your Calibre books will automatically be always available on all your phones and tablets as well, and no direct transfer between your computer and the iPad will ever be necessary. Then, when you access your Calibre books from the Dropbox app or SugarSync app on your iPad, you can choose whatever app you wish to read the book in. (I recommend Marvin.)
Letting Dropbox or SugarSync take care of Calibre is really the fastest way. You set it up once, and you can then forget all transfer worries once and for all. |

Could you discuss Calibre in Dropbox a bit more?

Sharon, I think Dropbox is the best cloud service, and I use it for my work-related files. I'm now up to 9.9 free GB, thanks to referrals, up from the default free 2 GB everyone gets. Even so, I have it filled up to 88% or so.
For this reason, I use SugarSync to mirror my Calibre library online. SugarSync gives you 5 GB for free to start with. Thus far, this is enough to handle my Calibre folders. |
