Hi davidfor,

Both my wife and I have an Aura One reader. We share the same calibre library.
I have set up the Kobo Utilities to store My Rating, Percent Read, Current Reading Location and Last Time Read on calibre. This is great as it would allow me to
1) re-install the content of the Aura One (and reading status) should it become lost
2) install the content (and reading status) on a new reader when I purchase one.

So far so good.
Now I would like to do the same for my wife's Aura One. (If she had a reader other than the Aura One, it would be easy.)

QUESTION: How can I use the Reading Status of the Kobo Utilities on 2 different Aura One sharing the same calibre database?

Thank you for any suggestions you might have regarding this question.
The plugin supports profiles. Basically you create a set of columns for each profile. Then in the configuration dialog, create a profile for each set of columns. This can also be associated with a device. On the second tab of the configuration dialog, is the list of known devices. You add the device by having it connected and pressing the "Add connected device" button. Then you can name it. Back on the first tab, select the profile, and then the device and save the changes.

If you do the reading status fetch manually, or when doing a restore, you can select the profile to use.

The help does have this. It should cover most of this setup. Though, I don't think it covers the device part fully.
