I'm successfully using the driver with Calibre and Marvin, and it's great - thank you! But I have an issue/suggestion (hope it's not a repeat; I've read through this entire thread and didn't see it).
I have books on my device (in Marvin) that the driver doesn't show as "in library" when I'm connected to Calibre - even though those books are in fact in my Calibre library. But the driver is not making a link between the two - maybe because the metadata isn't the same? (Sometimes I download a book into Marvin first when I'm on the road, then later download same book into Calibre, fill in all my metadata according to my Calibre usage, etc.).
When that happens I'm stuck. There's no way to link the two that I can find. I have to delete one, usually the one in Marvin since I have so much metadata entered for the one in Calibre, and then re-send the book from Calibre to the device. Of course, then I lose my place in Marvin, as well as any other info I'd associated with the book in Marvin (like non-calibre collections, word count, whatever). This is very frustrating.
What I'm looking for is some way to manually match the two books so I don't have to do this. I know that the "Calibre Connector Android App" had such a feature - you could right-click on the book in the device view in Calibre and select "Match book to library," select the correct book from a list, and then they'd sync.
Does the Marvin Calibre driver have a similar feature that I'm missing? If not, I'd love to see one! Without it, there are features of the driver that can't reliably be taken advantage of, which is really a waste!
