Sending books to two Pocketbook devices

LucyOne · 01-06-2019, 02:49 PM

I have a Pocketbook InkPad 3 and a Pocketbook Touch HD 3. I use this save template for sending books to the devices:
{:'current_library_name()'}/{author_sort}/{title} - {author_sort}

On the InkPad 3 it works fine, but on the Touch HD 3 the books are saved in this directory: Books/Books/Author_sort/
The first book folder already existed on the device before saving any books onto it.

I've tried changing the template for the Touch HD 3, but then the books where saved in the main directory of the InkPad, which I don't want either.

Could there be a conflict with the drivers for the devices?

Similar devices often share the same driver, so you cannot customize them independently, I'm afraid.

I just saw that the Touch HD 3 is recognized as the Pocketbook 740, which is the InkPad 3. Can this be fixed? Maybe it would also solve the other problem.
