This is still a problem for me: iPad/Stanza cannot find the shared computer/Calibre. If I re-boot the computer, it does seem to help. But if the connection is broken--if the iPad enters sleep mode for a minute or so, for example--then it takes more than 10 minutes for them to re-connect. (mind you: the WiFi connection is fine at these times and I can surf the web or even browse on-line bookstores via Stanza, I just cannot connect to my Calibre database).
Oh, another question. After uploading numerous books to my iPad, I went thru the Calibre database and made many corrections to various book tags: mispellings, author sort corrections, better title images, etc. How can I make these changes employ on the iPad/Stanza database of books? ...short of deleting/reloading those books for which I've made the changes.
In Calibre I've gone to Preferences | Add/Save | Sending to device and changed the "Metadata management" to "Automatic management"... but that didn't seem to have an effect when I had my iPad connected earlier. Does this feature work with iPads?
many thanks!
