It's a feature request, that's all. Maybe in another world and time it will be possible to make one set of books match another. Let us dreamers dream.

Just use calibre to transfer all books. Then any new books add to the reading list plugin to have added upon connection. Finally quit deleting then re-adding books to update a book. This is sloppy and causes your mismatched books. Simply drag-n-drop the updated book to the book details pane of the book you wish updated in calibre and the book will be updated. Then follow Chaley's directions below and your books will always be current.

For more info see our FAQ What does "Sync newer book files" (Settings / Connecting to calibre) do?
This cannot be the default for two reasons: - Checking the timestamp in calibre can be very slow, causing syncing to also be slow.
- The calibre viewer can change the timestamp of a book. We don't want to download the book every time that happens
Also note that calibre does not store the fact that you changed the book, so it can't tell the difference between editing and replacing a book. |
