It should work automatically without further user action required, the sync works in both directions.

Please note that you cannot mark a book as "unread" (you cannot delete a read book from your brain).

Hello,

I just got my new Inkpad 4 and am trying to configure the reading status with Calibre, but unfortunately with no success.
Till Yesterday I used a Kobo with whom that workes well.

The last line in your extention in Calibre shows: "#read_stefan"
I have typed this same "#read_stefan" into the Lookup name in my new column.
When I edit this lookup name it shows only "read_stefan", but in the columns overview I still can see "#read_stefan".

However, I took a book which is marked as read in Calibre and one on the Inkpad which I marked as read. But there is noting sychronising on either sides.

The left down corner of Calibre shows that your Plugin is in use.

What is it I am doing wrong?

Hi again,

seems I got it working meanwhile.

What I did: I was sending all the books to my new reader. After that updated the Metadata on the reader and disconnected the device.
Nothing synchroniced till there.
So I just connected the reader again, only updated the readers metadata once again and unplugged the reader.
Now my read book are marked as such on the reader

Strange, but it seems I must do that twice.

However, is there a chance to do this with my wives reader to? Of course she has read different book than I have, so she does not want my reading status on her reader.

What happens if I make to collumns in calibre, one for me and one for my wife, and always deaktivate the column which does not belong to the connected reader? Is the column still working when it is not activated / visible?

Are you missing something?

Yes !
You've been talking about collection support, should be very useful cause it's quite boring inside the reader ...
Thanks a lot for the read status sync, very useful too !

Hi,

i am trying to install/use this plugin, but Calibre can't connect to my PB while using this plugin.

Debug mod is telling me:

DEBUG: 11.3 PB_IMPROVED: open()

device.py should be adjusted correctly:
VENDOR_ID = [0x1f85]
PRODUCT_ID = [0x6a42]
BCD = [0x9999]

Has anyone ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance
