Bambook EReader detected, but not used by Calibre
Hi,
when I connect my Bambook Ereader to my Laptop, Calibre tells me: ------ calibre, version 0.8.18 BAMBOOK: Kann nicht mit dem Bambook verbinden, Sie müssen zuerst die Bambook Bibliothek installieren. (Cannot connect to the Bambook, You must install Bambook Library first) Does anybody know the Bambook reader and is able to help? Thanks! |

Well, that message essentially tells you that you'll have to install the Bambook library (I'm assuming that's the application the reader came with) to use the device in Calibre. Did you install that program?

I think I have installed all needed files, cause the Reader connects fine to an other PC (without Calibre).

It would seem that your device is not seen as a typical USB drive with an assigned drive letter. I'm not familiar with your device, but the Device plugin (see attached) for the bambook has a place to enter an IP address. I'm guessing this IP address needs to be filled in for calibre to work.

Bambook devices need the bambook driver library to be installed. You need to put BambookCore.dll into the DLLs sub directory of the calibre install.

Problem solved
First thanks for all your help!
I got in contact with Li Fanxi, who developped the Bambook integration into calibre. He helped me with all questions I have had with this device. We will try to write together an English/German handbook/short guide for this fine (and very cheap) chinese device. |

hi folks,
I could need some help because I also purchased a new bambook and don't know how to get it working with calibre. So if you could send me your tutorial, that would be really great! thx |
