Installation and syncing of existing books
I have just purchased and installed Calibre/Calibre Companion but I am struggling to make it work. These are the steps I have taken so far.
- I have the Calibre Companion app on my Kindle Fire HD 8 and the software on my Apple Mac laptop. I have also download the Kindle for Mac app v1.17 (as advised on this forum)
- I have an existing library of approx. 100 Kindle books and have used the add book function to add them into the calibre library on the laptop. Using the ISBN I have manually added all the books but all I have is the front covers and metadata file for each book so only the books titles come though to the Kindle in the Calibre Companion app. I think I am needing the epub files (is this a .azw file on a Kindle?) but cannot locate these on my laptop. Where do I get those? The books are all listed in the Kindle for Mac app library on my laptop but if I copy and paste anything out of the library, I am only getting a .textclipping file whatever that is.
- I can only seem to sync with the Content Server. I have tried syncing with the Kindle but this does not work. I have input the correct IP address and port as shown in the Connect/Share function.
I have looked at various threads on this Forum but cannot see anything that covers the particular problem/s that I am having. I am not sure what my steps are now so can anyone help?
Thanks
