[GUI Plugin] PocketBook Tools
Basic Calibre plugin offering several tools for (recent) Pocketbook readers.

It should support most recent HD, Lux, Basic and Inkpad models.
When Calibre recognises an USB connected PocketBook reader, the menu options should become available.

Current features:
  • Merge/fix annotations on device. When replacing e-book files, older highlights/notes may become hidden.
  • Backup databases (explorer-2/3.db and books.db) to a specified directory.
  • Copy .acsm, .app, .dic/.pbi and font files to their appropiate folders on the connected reader. (optionally copy from .zip files, and auto-delete the source file)
  • Export highlights to HTML (sorted by either date or title). For more features checkout the Annotations plugin.

The help file contains more details.

Suggestions are welcome.

Requirements:
Plugin was tested with the 'PocketBook Lux 2' driver with Calibre versions 3.48-5.x, under Linux and Windows 10.
Plugin will also run under 2.58 but could not be tested due to device driver issues (if wanting, checkout CLI options for main.py). *Uses Vendor ID = [0xfffe]

Test results for MacOS and devices are welcome.
Tested so far: Lux 5, PB Color, Inkpad HD 7,8"

Installation:
Open Preferences|Plugins|Get new plugins to install the 'PocketBook Tools' plugin.
Or, download the attached zip file and install the plugin manually.

And the plugin can now be installed + updated via Calibre's plugin manager.

Update 0.9.3 adds more details about completed tasks in the dialogs.
Backup files are now stored with date + time in the filename.
Other changes are listed in the about dialog/text above.

I just tried your plugin on my PB Touch HD 3 (PB632) and it works . Thank you for all your work!

Is it possible to extract the read status of the books on my device and import them to calibre? If I understood it correctly, you've based this plugin on kobo utilities, which seems to be able to do that.

I'm familiar with setting up custom columns, although I'm not sure what the lookup name would be here.

You're welcome

Currently the plugin doesn't extract the reading state. It wouldn't be very difficult to implement. Matching Calibre books to those in the device database will be the hardest part. Some code to that end was written for the Annotations plugin. Re-using parts of the Kobo Tools would surely help (IIRC, only the menu and structure were re-used - it was mostly written from scratch

I might get to it eventually, but it would be one-way initially.

The plugin doesn't work with calibre 6.3.

EDIT: Just tested, it's working with calibre 5.23

Hmm, doesnt work with inkpad X. The "menu option" (whatever this is), never appears - or i dont know where to search for... I think its just the plugin which doesnt work in my case.
Configuration of the plugin results every time in "you have to restart calibre to configure the plugin.
Tried on OSX Big Sur and Inkpad X with calibre 6.3.x. Hope that helps.

Thanks for reporting. It's likely due to 6.x using the newer Qt6 libraries. I'll take this up in the coming week, hopefully this involves only minor changes.

Fixed, minor changes indeed. 0.9.6 should hit the updater in a few hours.
