Hi All,
I'm a noob to Calibre. I have read the docs, watched the videos, but still cannot see how to just download the books on my Kindle 1 device into the Calibre library. When my device is attached, Calibre will allow me to look at the books it contains. However, when I select a book or books, and click on the Add Books button, it takes me to a dialog where it wants me to select a source directory on my laptop. When I click on the Save to Disk button, it takes me to a dialog where I am to select a destination directory on my laptop. Neither of these buttons, or their related dialogs, have anything to do with importing content from my Kindle into the Calibre library.
I guess my expectation is that the software would easily allow me to select books on my Kindle device, and provide me with a button in the GUI that would allow me to then transfer the selected book(s) from my Kindle to Calibre's library. Perhaps I have misconstrued Calibre's functionality in this regard? Maybe it is assumed that all I am really interested in is being able to transfer books to the Kindle? I would think that, this being a content management application, that one of its basic functions would be to effortlessly allow a user to transfer their libraries to
and from their devices without having to search all over creation for how to do it.
I'm a simple guy, looking for simple functionality.
Thanks,
Bob
