@skillachie: Could you remove the ad from the subject? The subject should just be the name of the plugin. Plus, the plugin has absolutely nothing to do with syncing with devices. It syncs to a Bookfusion account. From there it syncs to the devices.
And of course, "All Devices" isn't true. You are only talking about Android and iOS based devices. Bookfusion doesn't support dedicated ereader devices such as those from Kobo, Kindle or tolino. So, that claim isn't really true. |

Hi David, Thank you for the comment. 1. Where is the Ad? The subject says "BookFusion Cloud Sync" is that what your referring to? Or the sub heading "Your entire Calibre eBook Collection is only a tap away " 2. Devices - Most devices are based on Android & iOS that users use today. Users sync their eBooks to their Kindle devices via the web interface by clicking send to Kindle and some Kobo users have installed the Android app on their devices. "All Devices" was not meant to be cover every possible device but the majority of devices that users read on today. However, I can update it to read "Most Devices" since the intention is not to mislead anyone. Last edited by skillachie; 06-24-2018 at 01:03 AM. |

And as to Kobo owners installing your app, that either means they are using a Vox, which is an Android table that Kobo stopped selling years ago, or they have installed Android as a replacement for the Kobo supplied OS and application. People who have done the latter is tiny and using them as justification for "all" supporting Kobo devices and hence "all devices" is reaching a bit far. And as a comment, if I started using BookFusion and this plugin, the dialog displayed in the second last screenshot would really bug me each time I saw it. It is OK for the first time user, but after that, all that text adds absolutely nothing. It is just an ad and you have already made the sale. If it changes as someone uses the plugin, then OK. And the "& on Any Device" at the end of the title is just not needed. It is repeating what has already been said, "on Your Devices" and is a little contradictory - is it "all" or just my devices?. |

Hi David,
Thank you for the feedback. Have removed the word 'all' for the devices description. Also, will update the screen in the plugin to be displayed only on first use. Other Readers, Please feel free to take the plugin for a spin and let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions. |

My current well-loved setup is using Calibre Companion w/Moon+Reader on my devices to download/sync books and bookmarks. From there, I browse for the next book by a wide variety of tags, including genre, series, author, and title. I also have custom columns set up to match my Goodreads labels which helps find my next read. This service seems to fall pretty short of that experience. The only area where it excels is the web-based reading - that is spot-on. Last edited by lorikitty; 07-03-2018 at 08:05 PM. |

is there a plan to allow for more organization? Right now I can’t even separate read from unread without making it a tag, even though I have that as a category on calibre

We are adding support for those lists in the next iteration and will allow you to match tags with currently reading, read, finished. We just released support for virtual bookshelves in the Web and are working on adding virtual bookshelves in iOS and Android. |
