I use a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet (currently still on Win8.1) to run calibre and maintain the primary copy of my library on a microSD card in the expansion slot. I usually use a "modern interface" reading app (currently using Book Bazaar Reader) as it is much more touch friendly than calibre's ebook-viewer. For managing the library I attach a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth. It should be noted that you can't connect a Windows tablet (or any other Windows device) to another computer via USB. You have to use Ethernet networking and without adapters, all current tablets use WiFi (wireless Ethernet) only. If the OP's notebook used a wired Ethernet only then they need to have a "router" that also works as an Access Point for WiFi. If their Internet connection is done by connecting the notebook directly to a pure modem (DLS or Cable) then a router/access point combo (extremely common device) needs to be inserted between the modem and the laptop. If the existing "modem" is actually a modem/router combo (multiple ethernet jacks on the back) without a WiFi access point component the the options are to either add an Access Point connecting to one of the available jacks or to replace the modem/router with a modem/access point/router combo. |

Off-topic, but I really like your white windows. My Calibre windows are all battleship grey. In Preferences > Main Interface, my two style options are "System default" and "Calibre Style," neither of which changes the basic color of Calibre. Is there a setting I've overlooked? Quote:
Do you still use Calibre to organize your library, or does Book Bazaar Reader do it all? Again, my thanks to everyone. B. |
