Calibre & Samsung Tab

nynaevelan · 01-09-2011, 12:22 PM

Hi:

A question, with the latest version my Samsung Tab is now showing up as a device in Calibre, but it does not show any books that are on the device. Is it possible to set this device up in Calibre so that I can use Calibre to add and remove books? If not, no major deal since this is not my primary device.

go to preferences->plugins->device interface plugins and customize the android plugin for whatever setup the reading software you use on your device needs

Thanks, one more question, this plugin only lists epub and pdf as format types, my device accepts as uses mobi files via the Kindle for Android app, how do I add mobi as a type for this device?

use connect to folder in the connect share menu

The connect to folder option is greyed out, but that is ok because I can use the save to disk, single directory option. I was hoping I could use it like the device so that I can remove books that I do not want on there but no biggie because I only have a few books on there anyway so this will work. Thanks again for your assistance.

It is greyed out because your device is being recognized by calibre. If you want to use the Connect to folder feature go to Preferences - Plugins - Device interface plugin and disable the plugin for your device.
