Adding Books to MoonReader
Ok, how the bloody **** do I add books to this supposedly great program, via Calibre????????????
This looks like a really nice program, but without ANY documentation, it's a bear. I set the folder in settings and had Calibre upload the books TO that folder, they are there, but not according to M/R. I even tried upping them to Dropbox in the hopes they'd D/L into the program, but no go. Now, if this is discussed at length somewhere, please point me in that direction - I've been looking most of the day. |

Did you execute "Import Books" from within Moon Reader? Don't think it rescans directories automatically.

I use Calibre Companion on my tablets, and load books to my device wirelessly. Through the CC interface, I choose what book to read, then select Moon reader from within the CC app. Next time I start up Moon, any book I've already opened that way, is still there, until I delete it (which I also do via CC). Best $3 app I've ever bought.

I agree with two things, lack of documentation is not helpful and the ease of getting books on board is fraught. Good job I don't yet use Moonreader as my first choice for reading books. Long live my CyGen...

I'm glad it works well as an ereader. My sister in law got a Klu (???) for Christmas. I think it's a 7", I'd never heard of it. She paid $50. I haven't asked her about it yet. I think as long as she can read on it, she'll be happy. (Although the thought makes me shudder). The Klu would probably be worth $20, but not $50. (It's ridiculous they didn't take my advice and get the Nook HD on Black Friday. It would have been SO worth the extra $29.)

The biggest problem, is; say you add 25 books, and a few weeks later you add another 5 into the Community Folder. Now you go into M+R, and um, which books did I just add? Of course mobi's changing the title to the same entry as the author is a pain, but we'll see. |
