Having posted in support of johnnyb's experiences I, for my part, was aiming no criticism at Calibre nor any of the great work done on plug-ins etc. Calibre and its plug-ins makes the e-reading experience so much better.
I also accept that in many cases my main culprit was a flakey USB port on my Mac. However, whilst an improper ejection on my Tolino, or using Koreader on the Kobo requires nothing more than a reconnect to fix, in Nickel it invariably leads to a corrupted database and the whole sign out/in/reload all books rigmarole. Nickel seems very unforgiving! |

The problem with comparing to other devices is that none of them work the same way or are accessed the same way by calibre. Of these devices, only Sony's use a database for the books. And the driver's access of the database is a lot less intense than the Kobo driver. Quote:

This is just anecdotal info but when I installed/reinstalled KOReader a few years ago, within a day or so I invariably got a corrupted database after connecting to calibre. This may have been because I didn't load the PDFs in a hidden directory so Nickel was also able to 'see' them.
Once I uninstalled KOReader for the final time I've never had a corrupted database since. But maybe things have improved since then. |
