Cannot Save Book to Device Memory

[Sydney's Mom]

Thanks for all the help. I got sick of it, so I erased my SD card. All is good. Since CC sorts by tag and date, I should be able to load a reasonable number of books. I am now able to add books and delete them.

System upgrades have been known to cause SD card read/write problems.

I realize I broke it. I was so happy when I got all my books on it, I just kept going and going. I have a problem with that. I would just uninstall CC and reinstall, but I have books from 2 different computers and 2 different Calibre libraries on the fire.

You didn't break anything. You ran into an obscure SD card limit. I wish there was a way for CC to warn people so they (you) could take steps before things get catastrophic.

And you are not alone in wanting lots of books in CC. Some 5% of users have CC libraries in excess of 10,000 books. The biggest library we know of is larger than 45,000 books.

Three points:

1. You should still take the steps described in this FAQ. That will prevent the problem from happening again once you get all your books back on your device.
2. Did you also erase CC's database? If not then have "missing book files" for all the books in CC. If you want to re-download them in one fell swoop then (after changing the template as described above) use "Wireless device connection/Sync newer book files". A book in calibre is always newer than a missing book. You will need to enable this connection type in CC's Settings / Connecting to calibre. One possible issue: it could take calibre a long time to prepare to send that many books. The connection shouldn't time out, but who knows?
3. If you want to remove the deleted books from CC's library then use "Books with missing files" on CC's main menu. CC will verify each book and present you with a list that have missing book files. One option is to delete them all.

Thanks! I loaded about everything I could think of, and I am still under 2000. The books were taking about 7 seconds each to come through. Then I sorted by tag 0read0, and had about 70 that I had already read loaded. Got rid of those, and now I think I have to read what is on my Fire before I put more on. Well, except for the new books I get.

I really appreciate the help. I used Calibre for years. I am relatively new to CC, and it complements Calibre so well, I was really missing something.
