I'm sure when the Kobo desktop is used to try syncing. Is it failing after using calibre, or does it fail no matter what?
The questions that come to mind:
- Are you using an older version of KSM? There was an issue with this an connections to the PC.
- What happens if you don't use calibre to sideload the books? Can you connect and manually add a book without causing any problems?
- Do the sideloaded books get imported properly?
- Do you lose books or reading status if you restart the device?
- Do you get any errors from calibre when you connect a second time?
- Are you patching or installing anything else?
- What version of calibre are you running? It shouldn't matter, but, it is always a good idea to check.
- How much free space is on the device?
I can state that I am not seeing any issues with my devices. I think they have all had a new book put on them using calibre, and have all synced with no issues. |
Hi Davidfor,
Yes, that is absolutely correct.
I actually very very rarely use the Kobo desktop app, but since it wasn't syncing over wifi, I thought I'd try it that way. It sure didn't help.
Yes, once I've used my reader with Calibre, Kobo syncing fails.
1. Sorry, I don't know what KSM is. I have the latest version of software on both my Kobo and Calibre.
2. Using Calibre is the only way I know how to load other books that aren't directly from Kobo onto my reader, so I have no idea
3. Yes
4. No
5. No
6. No
7. 4.23
8. 5.2GB available
In summary, all software used is up to date, sycing to Kobo works great until I sync to Calibre, then it stops being able to sync to Kobo. The ereader never has an issue with Calibre (other than of course once I add books from Calibre, I can no longer sync to Kobo).
I can also tell you that as of right now, it has been syncing since about an hour or so before I wrote my original message and is still no further than "Checking for updates".
