I'm running version 1.7.0 of Calibre and installed the latest version of the iOs reader applications 1.2.1. This plugin installs twice, for some reason, but I configured both. (if I delete one, they both disappear).

I can add books in iBooks by sending the epub to desktop, dragging them into iTunes and synchronize, but Calibre used to do it directly. So; it is not a huge problem but one I would like to resolve.
I would appreaciate any suggestions.

edit: I'm using the iPad1 and iTunes 5.1.1.
  • Exit calibre
  • Disconnect all iDevices from your computer
  • Restart calibre
  • Configure the iOS reader applications plugin for iBooks as described in the iOS reader applications thread
  • Exit calibre
  • Connect your iPad
  • Restart calibre
If the problem persists, create an issue in the plugin's issue tracker. Follow the directions in issue #1 to create a debug log, and include the contents of your debug log.
