I have about 1200+ books (about 8 or 9 GB) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I've transferred them from my PC via Calibre before purchasing Calibre Companion.
I have changed the book-folder to the correct one so everything should be fine. But somehow only 396 books are displayed in CC. The devices connect perfectly well. But time and time again (this whole Sunday), when syncing, the devices get disconnected (Calibre says "timed out"). I've followed the syncing process and apparently my GT2 gets disconnected for a few seconds every now and then from the network (but really for just a few seconds) but CC and Calibre never reconnect. I might have my WiFi badly set up, but my GT2 reconnects to the network very quickly after losing contact.
Fact remains that I cannot get enough "online time" (shortest was about 30 minutes, longest about 64 minutes, probably just short of syncing all of the books) for CC to sync all the books.
Is there anything I could do about this. Is there a workaraound? Couldn't CC just read Calibre's metadata that's already on the device. Maybe if I move it to the Books-folder on the device? Is there a way to lengthen the "time out" time? Anything? I'm running out of ideas.
Thank you.
