Hi,
Just wanted to report this (and maybe find a solution), not sure where it belongs in this forum. But here it goes:
- Calibre portable on Win7
- CC companion on Android device
- FBReader on Android device
Scenario one:
1. On Android CC Companion, connected device.
2. On Calibre: A CBZ file. Send to device. Asked to convert. An ePub is created and uploaded to device.
3. On device, CC Companion, I see the book, and the meta data (title, author, description, etc...) is all there.
4. On device, in CC Companion, choose read, ePub is opened in FBReader.
5. Issue: print to small, and a known issue is that you can not zoom in, therefore not readable.
Scenario two:
Same as above. In point 2 I tried convert to mobi. Same result. But PDF allows me to zoom in once uploaded to the device. The quality however is poor. Text is pixelated and hard to read.
Scenario three:
1. Don't use CC Companion. Use the FBReader Calibre connector.
2. On the Android device, in FBReader, choose network library, and connect to Calibre (IP+port).
3. One issue here is that I have not succeeded in doing a direct search for a titel. Not sure if it is just me, but for now I just browsed in the list.
4. I choose a title and see the Calibre meta data incl description.
5. Choose download
6. Issue: in the library (on Android device, in FBReader) on the shelf I can not see the meta data. No author, and the book title is "Calibre_Library".
7. I can open the CBR in FBReader, and can ZOOM in, with very good quality.
So conclusion is:
A- use CC Companion and get all meta data on your device, but loose the ability to zoom.
B- Don't use CC Companion, loose the meta data, but have a perfect readable copy with full ZOOM option.
Any thoughts on this ? (I'm trying to understand how there is a connection between this topic and the question I asked here:
