I just get Japanese version of T1 reader, and is connected with calibre without any problem. thanks for everyone here.

but I found calibre do not detect Japanese ebook files in T1. because they are Japan only ebook format like Voyager dotbook (extension .book), or Sharp XMDF (extension .zbf) which is not supported by calibre. other format like EPub files can transfer or detected by calibre.

so my question is, is it possible to support above 2 format in calibre?

both format are closed format, so we can not have specification for them. that means it is difficult to convert to/from other format or use metadata in them. but I guess it is nice if calibre can recognize them and can transfer those format to/from T1 device.

thanks
