KOBO H20 and Calibre
Hi,
I have a Kobo Aura H20 Edition 2. When I try to sync with Calibre it takes between 20 an d30 minutes to read what books are on the device. Onboard storage is 5.2 GB of 6.7 available. My old Sony reader had the same items on it and it took less than a minute to read what books are on the device. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks |

It will take longer if there are a lot of changes in the collections of series. I did change the collections management settings last night and the next connect on the Glo HD took about 8 minutes in the "Sending metadata to device" job. That was because it removed a lot of collections. It is possible the issue is the database on the device. If it is corrupt, this can take longer. But, usually if it is bad enough to cause performance problems, it will raise an error when calibre is accessing it. If you have my Kobo Utilities plugin installed, you can check the database with it. That also has a compress option which will reorganise the database and can help performance. The only other things I can think of is if something else is access the device at the same time. A virus/malware scanner would be the obvious thing. Or if the device was being mounted as a USB1 device instead of USB2. That would slow things down. |

As with installing any software, you need to decide if the risk is worth it. |

A lot of us are happy users of the plugin. Davidfor is a stand-up guy who donates his time to the Kobo community. [Disclosure - of lack of it - I have never met him and receive no kickbacks of any kind.]
