Manage more than one device with calibre

brunnerdan · 10-31-2014, 12:17 PM

I wanted to know if the following scenario is possible with Calibre :

- I have more than one and different devices
- I would like to create on library per device
- I would like to copy all the book from one library in a directory structure to the MemoryCard of my eBook Reader for copying my books to the reader
- I would like to use only one instance of Calibre to do this.

Thanks a lot for your help !

Calibre experts will be along in a moment, but I'd advise having one calibre library, and if you want to have subsets on different devices, do it by having a custom column.

Make a custom colunm. I suggest Like Tags so you can mark the title as being on more than 1 device at a time.
Then use a Virtual LIbraries (each based upon one of those tags+whatever else floats

)
