What phone app - do you mean calibre companion or similar, or the content server via browser in 'mobile phone' mode.

I've been using Calibre Companion in my laptop to send books to my ereader. but i would rather do it through my mobile phone,
i've installed Calibre Companion demo version in my mobile but i cant get it to recognise my ereader one i plug it to the mobile phone!

Is there some way to do it?

CC is the COMPANION to Calibre on your PC. It does not DETECT devices because it runs on the DEVICE and it expects that device to provide a viewer.

You have a few, non-elegant, options
1) Use your phone w/CC or just a browser to find books in your Library to read.
Then get a USB 'transfer' cable to connect your phone to your reader.
Then use your phones file manger to copy the file to your reader.

2)use the (store) browser on your reader to connect to the 'Calibre Content server' running on your PC.

NOTE, no 'on the fly' conversion is possible with this process. The format must already exist.

Very few dedicated readers support Blutooth (allows file transfers) which would be the alternate to the USB cable in #1

Unless your laptop runs Android or IOS, running Calibre Companion on it is not an option. If you have a Windows, Mac OSX or Linux laptop, calibre will run on it but Calibre Companion will not (disregarding using an Android emulator on your laptop).

calibre ≠ Calibre Companion
