PocketBook Sense 630 on Calibre

[Fleige]

Hallo,

mein neues PocketBook Sense 630 wird in Calibre nicht erkannt.
Folgende Daten werden gemeldet:

USB Vendor ID (in hex): 0x18d1
USB Product ID (in hex): 0x0001
USB Revision ID (hexadezimal): 0x0230
Händlerzeichenfolge des Windows-Hauptspeichers: USB_2.0
ID Zeichenfolge des Windows-Hauptspeichers: USB_FLASH_DRIVER

Wie kann ich das Gerät in Calibre 2.6 integrieren?

MfG

That connection info is already in the calibre android driver

The reader is recognized by Calibre, but books in the library are not shown.
A book imported from Calibre to the device does not appear in the library, but i fond it in the Folder /ebooks/Import.
Tried to move it to Bookshelf favorites did not work

MfG
Herbert

You will need to customize the driver to tell it where on the device to look for book, right click on the device icon and choose customize.

I have a similar problem with my new pocketbook 630
after the first boot, everything was ok, calibre connect to reader, fine.
but after the firmeware-upgrade of the pocketbook, calibre don't see the reader...

my system recognize the pocketbook correct, it mount the filesystem of the reader and I can put/delete books.
but calibre doesn't recogize it.

my system:

calibre-version:
ii calibre 1.25.0+dfsg-1build1

the first connection-file:
{"device_store_uuid": "810b9cf2-278f-44ab-bfa3-697381f45242", "prefix": "/media/mak/Pocket630/", "device_name": "Android phone", "calibre_version": "1.25.0", "location_code": "main", "last_library_uuid": null, "date_last_connected": "2015-04-16T17:14:17.477933+00:00"}

I deleted the file, but calibre does't create a new one.

You are approximately 50 versions behind. Update calibre and see if you still have the problem.

(In case you are wondering why you are 50 versions behind, calibre is released weekly, linux distros are for the most part released once. Naturally, they are out of date almost as soon as they are released. Rolling-release distros like Arch Linux or Gentoo don't have those flaws. Update from the standalone binary package at http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux. See my sticky thread for auto-updating HERE.)

thank you, after manually installing calibre, everything works.
do you know, why ubuntu only have such an old version in his repository?

[eschwartz]

Yes, it is quite simple actually.

It is called FeatureFreeze, and it means at a certain point late in development they stop updating ALL applications, and concentrate on stability and bugfix-updates only.
This means, for example, critical applications like browsers get updated regularly, but not much else.

A large part of the software on a Ubuntu computer is out of date. With calibre it is noticeable, as calibre is updated weekly.
If you were using the Ubuntu 15.04 betas, you'd probably have an up-to-date version of calibre.


Ubuntu is not the only distro that does this, it is actually quite common. There are distros, like ArchLinux which I use, that keep on the bleeding edge using the Rolling Release model. There is no "ArchLinux XX", like there is "Ubuntu 14.04", rather, you update to the latest version by applying all package updates.

Hello
It seems that Calibre does not take into account the shelves or genres.
Another problem is that the author of a pdf doesn't appear in the list of authors on the Pocketbook 630.
Many thanks
