I think it may not have been working as I expected because I did not know about the device going into standby (thread).

Is it possible to have NickelDBus start the Kobo sync and also send a signal back to say it has completed the sync, successfully or otherwise?

Are you talking about syncing to the Kobo severs? It might be possible, but it is not something I've looked into, so can't say for sure.

Yes I believe it is to the Kobo servers.

New books I buy from Kobo, bookmarks etc. I am one of those people that every month the sync stops working and it can drain the battery from 90% to 10% in 30min. I usually have to delete the larger collections to get it working again.

Made a script that turns off the wifi after a certain amount of time, and would like to streamline the process and include starting the sync, as it takes a several more steps to start the sync while reading a book.

Even if it not possible that would be great to know so I can get this monkey off my back!

I have the same problem. I think this is caused by database corruption in the encrypted database.

Another way to fix it is to use calibre to back up the database daily, and when sync stops working, unpack the backup calibre made from the day of (or day before) the last successful sync, and replace the KoboReader.sqlite and BookReader.sqlite on the device and reboot it and let it re-import the books you've added since, and then use calibre to update the bookmarks for books you've read since.

This has worked a few times for me now, and is a lot better than doing a factory reset or deleting lots of stuff and putting it back.

Thanks I did not think about the database backup!

Edit: I do use Calibre always wondered if that could be an issue?
