Sending books to Kindle

ErikaGC · 05-23-2012, 10:29 PM

I am having problem sending e-books to my kindle using Calibre, I have three books I need to add, but every time I send one then another, the first one gets removed, then when I add that one again the second one gets removed. the green arrows indicate it.
What can I do?

Choose the "Email to" and not the "Email to and delete from library" option.

And where can I find that option?

Or, why is this happening? Why would it remove the previous book from my device and add the current one instead? I really need help fixing this, this is the only problem I am having with Calibre, other than that, it is an awesome program.

Are you are saying books are being removed from the Kindle, not from your calibre library? In that case it has nothing to do with calibre, since when sending by email, calibre has no control whatsoever over what happens on your Kindle. Most likely the Kindle is removing the old book because it thinks it is the same book as the new one.

Yeah that is what I meant, it is removing them from the Kindle, it is still in the library. What can I do to change this? Or are there setting in the kindle I can change?

I suggest you change the name of the file that is giving you trouble. Perhaps Kindle thinks you are loading the same file that already exists. If you have 3 files change part of the filename so all 3 are unique.

I think you should be able to change the name if you use the Metafile Icon once the file or book is highlighted.
