Sending multiple files to kindle 2

Bonanza43 · 07-29-2011, 12:44 PM

I have quite a few mobi books spread throughout my calibre library and would like to send them to my kindle 2.
My question is, how can you pick multiple files to send, (instead of sending them one by one)?
I can sort them into a list, but with no checkboxes how can you chose them all?
I have tries to highlight them (like I was going to cut, copy and paste) and it doesn't seem to work that way....

One thing some of us do is make use of the Reading List plugin by Kiwidude. It has a lovely feature where you can create a list (for instance Sync Later) that will automatically, when the Kindle is detected as being attached, send all the books on it to the Kindle. You can then add books at any time to this list.

The other option is to shift click on the books one bye one; this will select multiple books. Then, once all books ARE selected, Right click and select Send to Device.

there's a tag category called 'format'. select the 'mobi' one to sort by and then press the 'enable or disable search highlighting' button to enable search highlighting and then press the 'send to device' button. then wait till the job completes.
