Format copying fault

rbruce1314 · 04-13-2018, 02:33 AM

Odd one this. Everything I get from Amazon goes from Kindle via Calibre to my reader (Moon reader+). When I hit 'send to device' for single or multiple books it automatically selects the epub conversion and duly sends it . . . .

. . . until recently!!!!! Now I seem to have an 'exciting' wait to see if Calibre sends the epub version or the azw3 version!!!

1. I haven't changed any settings.

2. It is intermittent - sometimes I get epub, others azw3.

Obviously I can use the slow 'send specific format to..' using 3 clicks not 1, but what has happened and why? If it were constant I could search foi a faulty setting, but as it is I don't know where to start.

Right click the device icon in calibre, choose customize this device and untick epub from the list of formats to tsend to the device.

Thanks for quick response (as ever . .!!) Kovid.

The Calibre device settings ahd indeed changed themselves to now include .mobi AND .azw3 as well as the chosen epub. I reset the 'configure this device' settings and all is now as it should be . . . .

Nothing I did though - from the dates of the books concerned I can only assume the (normally) infallible Calibre changed them on the date I did the last update . . . one to peruse perhaps??

But all sorted now.
