One time I managed to update my library, but it updated ALL OF THEM with that day's date as read. And since then I can't get it to even make that error again. I've read the instructions in the FAQ repeatedly, but I don't see anything I'm not doing. I also don't get any error message, it just spins briefly and then disappears, and nothing updates.
I found out two very important items that I never saw documented. First, you need the userid and password for the content server which you already have. I didn't and someone in the forum had to tell me that. Secondly it appears that you have to use V1 format NOT V2. I have just tested this with multiple libraries, ranging up to 8k books, and it will now sync the read status from my Android device to Calibre on Windows. This assumes that you have the Boolean read status field setup and are using the two-way status update option (I have forgotten the actual title for that) etc. I am guessing that you do and that the V1 vs V2 is what is causing you grief just like it did me. Good luck. That part appears to be working now although I do still have a few other problems.............Jackie
