My mistake. I meant metadata.calibre.

I can read both these files via file manager but not on the Boox, there is not much point them being on the Boox anyway as it can do nothing with metadata although Calibre may need it to read back data??
Calibre uses this file to speed up device connection. It needs it.
Quote:
It seems that Calibre is writing the metadata and copying the books but reporting it cannot do either and it cannot read back from the Boox.
Part of the problem might come from putting things in the root. The Boox may not like that as a matter of principle.

I have a different device driver that lets you specify different subdirectories for main memory and the card. Are you willing to try it? If so, once you have installed it but before you connect the boox, you will need to touch the Boox device customization. You might also need to move books into subdirectories.
