Kovid allowed me to add useragent string recognition of the HD2 as a mobile device to the logic for the calibre server so that it automatically switches to the mobile server. (The main server requires ajax and neither the Opera browser, nor IE on the HD2 supports it).
Because calibre won't talk to WinMo devices through AS, I tried to get calibre to recognize the HD2 when connected as a disk drive. Unfortunately, the HD2 doesn't properly identify itself, so this didn't work either. After using calibre for a while, it seemed to me that there wasn't any reason to get calibre to recognize the HD2 as an e-reader (which would allow "Send to device") when I could just "Save to disk" when the HD2 was connected as a disk drive.
Plus, "Save to disk" was originally much more flexible. Since I looked at this, Kovid has added flexibility to "Send to device" by allowing control over file/folder names, but I still don't see any real advantage to it over "Save to disk." Unless I'm missing something?
I admit, I haven't looked at it recently, since the HD2 is my wife's toy, and she's using the wifi and the built-in server for most of her book management.
