I assume this has been about sending books as kepubs using the template. My current template is:

Code:

program:
as_kepub = '';
if (current_library_name()=='Incoming' || in_list($tags, ',', '\[as_kepub\]',  'as_kepub', '')) then
    as_kepub = 'as_kepub'
fi

Which of course means everything in one of my libraries plus anything else with the tag "[as_kepup]". And that looks clumsy.

What I realised when I saw the release is that I should have added the global variables that I added for the collections template. That would let you use the device serial number to only send to a particular device.

And as I don't remember if I mentioned it anywhere outside the code, the collections template has the following global variables:

'serial_number': The serial number of the connected device
'firmware_version': Firmware version as a tuple. e.g. (4, 33, 12345)
'display_firmware_version': Firmware version as a string. e.g. 4.33.12345
'dbversion': Database version. For the current firmware is should be 170.

I think only the first one is particularly useful, but, the others are things that I could see that the driver knows about the connected device and might make sense.
