Updated Kobo driver in Calibre 0.7.5
Hi
The Kobo driver that I have been working on is now in the latest version of Calibre.
There are not a lot of changes since the last plugin version that was out there. Most of the changes are a code cleanup.
However, for those who noticed that the driver took 10-30 seconds to get the book list from the device the query has been improved and should be less than a second (the device recognition and metadata still take a few seconds but it a huge improvement over the 20-30 seconds that I saw on some systems).
So to review the features:
1) Lists the kobo, epub and pdf books on the device
2) Allows you to CLEANLY delete kobo, epubs and pdfs.
3) Removes images files from the device when books are deleted.
4) Allows most other Calibre features for epubs and pdfs
Future Plans:
1) Allow kobo books to be exported to the disk.
2) Updates for version 2? of the Kobo firmware
BTW, I stress clean deletes above because as many of you have noticed, deleting an epub manually does not cleanup the database. I don't have any features in this version of the driver to cleanup the device. If I get time (and the interest I may look into it at some point)...
