Pocketbook Era: Books in series missing and duplicate metadata
Hi all
I have two issues with the Pocketbook Era and its library: Issue (I) I've been trying in vain to have all books of a series correctly displayed in, some are randomly missing.
More detail:
Issue (II) Displaying the library by authors (not series), I have duplicate authors showing up. I.e. I see my five books of author "John Doe" twice, namely as a first entry as "John Doe (2)" and right next to it "John Doe (3)". I am positive that there are no additional blank spaces after the name--everything tagged correctly in Calibre. However, if I click on "John Doe (2)" all five books show up. Anyone have any solutions for those issues? Thx |

A possible reason: deleting books outside the library app (eg. from a pc) can produce metadata mix-ups especially if you re-add the same books again.

Thx. However, didn't do any deleting yet--my reader is a couple of weeks old and I'm still setting it up. Funny that Pocketbook has these issues. I had everything working perfectly on my 12-year-old Sony...

Did you export the ebooks via calibre after aplying the changes to the ebook or did you just copy the files out of the library directory?

All my books are in ePub3 format, I haven't noticed problems with series info, but my usage of the library is very basic. I prepare my reading schedule on PC.
I had problems with the ePub3 reader though, switched to KOReader instead. |

Checking the book details in Pocketbook's library I do not see any series information. When verifying within KOreader they do show up correctly, though! So the info is in the books, and correctly (as I verified in the last step before sending over to the reader). |

Try using this custom app. Works for me every time.
https://git.rustysoft.de/martin/PbDbFixer Go to the Relases tab and download the .app file Drag the .app file into your Applications folder on the reader Run the app from the reader |
