cooltwou · 04-09-2013, 10:43 AM

I am trying to get this work so I can send the books to my Google nexus 7 so I can send the books that are in the Caliber library to my friends Kindle anybody know how I can do this because the Caliber is not detecting my Google Nexus 7 with a USB cable hooked to a laptop

Make sure the Nexus is connecting in MTP mode and NOT disk mode.

how do i do that

cooltwou · 04-09-2013, 10:55 AM

it says it is connected as Media Device(MTP) but the Caliber program dose not detect it as a device at all

What O/S is on your PC?

cooltwou · 04-09-2013, 11:00 AM

Windows XP

PeterT · 04-09-2013, 11:09 AM

Thats the problem.... please search for threads here dealing with MTP and XP. Shoret answer is it's not supported.

The Calibre program Version 0.9.26 does not detect my Google Nexus 7 i have the MTP on & the version of windows i have is XP on the laptop the books are on & the software version for the nexus 7 is 4.2.2 what could be the problem

XP is the problem. The MTP interface calibre uses was unreliable on XP and was disabled. Get a modern OS

Hint: Calibre Companion works well on Android devices. Cheap

I can't get a current os because the laptop has no disc drive at all

cooltwou · 04-09-2013, 09:32 PM

If the MTP doesn't work for Windows XP should I load the books on to a USB flash drive & put them on the computer that has Windows 8

There are means to install from a USB drive but just look for calibre companion in the play store. This will let you connect via Wi-Fi between the nexus and the pc with calibre on it

I seen you had to buy that app & I am not going to use it but one time why would I be that app for

You can use the save to disk to save the files in a folder on your laptop then move them manually to your nexus 7. No need to copy to another laptop.

I'm not sure if I understand why you need to send the books to your Nexus prior to sending them to a friend's Kindle...
