Kobo Glo, automatic book transfer from Calibre

hjt61 · 08-11-2018, 03:20 PM

I have a Kobo Glo HD, which I use with Calibre on a Mac. For several months now, a strange thing happens:
- Every time I connect the Kobo and start Calibre, Calibre automatically creates a job to transfer 203 books (which I have read before) to my Kobo
- Then I manually have to delete those 203 books, and now I transfer the books which I actually want to read
- after disconnecting my Kobo, everything is fine
- next time I start Calibre and connect the Kobo, the same thing happens again... 203 books have to be transferred to the Kobo before I can do anything

I looked everywhere in Calibre, re-installed the Kobo plugin, upgraded the Kobo firmware to latest version, etc... I can't figure out how to stop this very annoying book transfer.

Do you have the Reading List plugin?

You may hav queued books sitting there

Thanks a lot for that tip... That was exactly my problem.
