Set upload to device to specific format

cmwheeler · 05-12-2012, 12:05 PM

Sorry if this has already been answered, I wasn't able to find the answer in a forum search...

When I have multiple versions of a book, ex. (pdf, mobi, epub) and transfer to device, I noticed that the format being transferred is pdf.

pdf files are not ideal for reading pleasure on my Kindle KB.

How do I make certain that calibre knows to send the mobi or epub version over the pdf?

-OR-

If that isn't possible, how do I delete only the pdf version from my calibre library?

TIA for any help you experts can provide!

You configure the Device Interface plugin for your device to tell Calibre what formats it can send, and in the case of their being multiple matching option the priority order that should be used.
