I'm working on a new calibre library app - Calibre LibraLink - Page 3

PeterT · 04-06-2026, 02:16 PM

Does the app save the downloaded data from Google Drive or Calibre Content Server between app launches?

Is it possible to batch download books?

how would that work? I think if you had check boxes to select, how much time would you save? How many books do you imagine downloading at once?

I would download as many books as I want! It shouldn't be up to the application to limit the number.

Well, with calibre sync I download all my books - about 5,600.

Given that they only take up about 20GB, why wouldn't I want to have all my books on my phone?

Wow. hmmm Let me think about a download all feature. I would think you'd want to connect to Calibre directly for that many.

A new app is always wonderful news. Much obliged!

Are there any plans for the app to read a local copy of a full Calibre DB (folders and files)?

I'd also like to try it and see how it goes with Calibre Content Server. Where can I download it?

Thanks in advance,

I'd love to try the iOS version. Thanks.

I just sent you both linnks, thank you!

Currently working on a download all feature, editing individual libraries more easier, clairfying things on the settings page, putting in a library sync date/time.

click purchase and it should have a test credit card built in. It just shows the functionality is working. You should be able to make the purchase using the test card and everything will be unlocked

I clearly was lacking that input.

So far I was only able to test with Project Gutenberg.

I'll now try what happens with Calibre content server.

With haste,

I've been trying my Calibre Content Server connection with little result.

It seems that my library is so huge (+17K e-books) that the system just won't finish loading it.

For instance I managed to have a connection that did read my whole library, I then tried to filter through a specific collection to no avail, so I switched off the app: when I came back, the app tried to reload again the whole collection... It simply took too long.

I do realize that this is a problem since my library is rather too big... and I do believe the app doesn't store a local copy of the Calibre library DB, with book covers downloaded or not.
