My current context menu is attached, everything circled in red is a plugin. You can adjust this menu by going to Preferences - Toolbar and choose from the dropdown menu - The context menu for the books in the calibre library.

Good Reading.

If you have a question about your device, be specific and ask it in a new thread in the Devices sub-forum.

Good Reading.

If you mean that you want to run Calibre on your Kobo Vox, you're out of luck. It doesn't run on Android. You could, however, run the Calibre server and connect to it over your local network or internet via the Vox's web browser.

How did you get your main menu bars like you have? One with icons and one without.

The one without the icons is called the menubar and you can customize all the toolbars in Preferences > Toolbars.

The one with the icons is called the main toolbar and you can customize it as well, both for no device connected and for how it displays when a device is connected.

Hi everyone,

I've been a bit busy, but right now I'm doing an exercise to improve how the content is Organized. It's the first step. Could you complete it? It takes from 5 to 10 minutes. Because it's a free trial of that webpage, only 10 people can take it!

https://fesja.optimalworkshop.com/optimalsort/calibre

Two more questions, do you feel all the options you need are by default in the menus? Which ones you haven't used?

thanks!

Dwanthny, thanks for the info. Just re-installed Windows and will get to Calibre over the weekend.
