Thanks David - I was actually trying to do the task we were talking about on
the other thread: to see if the books that were ON the device would show up in Calibre as "on device"
It was taking ages to do this because of the slow 'scanning for new books' that the Forma was doing every time.
So I was hoping I could use the method suggested above: to 'save to disk' books from Calibre while KOREADER was running on the device, not the standard (nickelmenu?) interface. I was hoping this would skip the whole scanning part but still enable me to test.
Would it?
(PS dont really understand what 'folder Device Interface' or the 'User Defined USB driver' are. I know the standard interface, Plato and Koreader)
