Hi All

Discovered the excellent Calibre this weekend after a friend recommended it to me. Super stuff.

However, I can't seem to get Calibre to recognise my iPad Mini when it is connected to my MacBookPro.

I have managed to get some eBooks loaded on the Mac, converted to ePUB format, then save that file to disk and drag to iTunes which then syncs the Books app on my iPad to the Mac and I am able to read the book, however... what i want to do is to be able to read the books using the Kindle app on my iPad.

The manual suggests that Calibre should automatically detect when my iPad is connected to my Mac, but alas it doesn't in my case.

How do I go about resolving this please? Any advice?

Thanks all.
