According to their FAQ you can adjust the maximum number in the preferences: https://www.maplepop.com/web/mr/help...alibre_oneshot

Thanks so much! I kept trying to find the limit in MapleRead, never occurred to me that I needed to adjust in Calibre.

Another question. I want to use the "book set" function. When I attempt to move books into a new set, I only get the option to copy, move is greyed out. If I copy a book to a book set does MapleRead actually duplicate the book into the set, or does it just create a pointer?

Are you copying from the Undefined set, or a custom created set? From "All Books" you can only "copy" to a secondary set. But from your custom created or the Ungrouped set, you should be able to copy or move.

Essentially your "All Books" is the primary list, from there Copy puts a reference in the new set but maintains the reference in the original set or All Books, Move removes the book from the original set to put it in the new set (unless All Books was the original.) A book can be in more than one set, because the set is basically just a collection of pointers.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I'm running out of disk space, so wanted to make sure I wasn't using more than was available.

The FAQ says to use "PC Upload View" - I don't have that in Exchange. I also don't have download from Dropbox. What am I missing?

It lets me connect to Dropbox and I can see the fonts, but can't figure out how to get the fonts into SE. Download just get as error.

In SE exchange I have pc upload along the bottom between websites and server

Thanks, yes I have that, but it doesn't work. I put the address in, Firefox drops the last 4 digits and comes back with a not found. I'm on a Macbook. I'd like to download it from Dropbox.

Ok I can get to pc upload in Safari. However, it won't upload ttf files. It shouldn't be so complicated to add a user font!

Don’t use Dropbox, but it works fine on iPad and Firefox on windows pc, opens the web address you just need to leave the maple page open and windows takes me to font installer, have installed several dozen over a period. The problem may be the Mac, but Firefox should work the same I would have thought.

Thanks, I'll pull out my old Windows PC and see if I can get it that way.
