Probably stupid Dropbox question
Hi all,
My Dad has the Kindle Fire. His Calibre library lives in his Dropbox, but when I went to the Calibre folder on the Fire and tried to download a non-DRM'd .mobi file, it gave me an error such as "can't open this file." Is there a way to force a download in the Dropbox app? I have a file manager and can then move the file to the Books (or Documents) folder. |

Aha I knew there was a way Thank you.
(How weird that you have to reboot to get it to see a file!) |

I also use the Calibre OPDS Catalog. Files down load to down load folder and then its a PIA to then use EsXplorer to move the book to the docs or books folder. Can you elaborate a little. Thanks. |
