Calibre/Wordplayer for HTC EVO Android Phone

[sagefire21]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I've been scanning the forum for a while, and while I may have missed it, I can't find anything talking about the HTC Evo Android mobile phone and how to sync downloaded and converted Calibre epubs to the phone. I've tried to follow the FAQ on Calibre's site, and have exhausted many paths. Am I missing something? I still can't view my books on my phone despite my best efforts.

I have DRM free epubs. Everything runs fine on Calibre and Kindle.

I downloaded the latest Calibre (v. 0.7.38), and while it says it recognizes my device and says it's successfully synced it to my phone (which it did, I can see the epubs in /ebooks/import/ on my phone's main memory diskdrive...), Wordplayer still can't read them. Wordplayer says it can't find the Calibre Server and to try a different IP in the form?? It won't work and it crashes when I try to load epub from SDCARD.

I tried Aldiko, too. It says there are no books found when I try to Import even though the epub files are right there on my phone. The files are in the correct directory...I tried moving them out of /import/ and moving the epubs all around, but I'm lost. It still won't work.

I've mounted the HTC as a disk. I'm running Windows XP.

Do I need a driver?

Here are my corresponding Debug device connection code files:

I have exactly the same problem with WordPlayer, hope someone knows the answer!

This looks to me like a Wordplayer issue rather than a Calibre one. Try looking for help either in the relevant subforum on here or look for whatever support Wordplayer offers.

[sagefire21]

I might also note, I'm having problems with FBReaderJ as well. It says my Favorites are empty and the file tree is all locked up "Permission denied" as soon as I or Calibre copy epubs over. Is the DRM not fully removed or something? Than why does it work on Kindle?

[kovidgoyal]

You should try posting in a device forum, all calibre does is copy files over, there's not a lot of room for things to go wrong in that. Verify that the files calibre copies over can be opened by an ebook viewer on your desktop, if they can, then there's nothing wrong with the calibre stage and you need to get device specific support.

[sagefire21]

Good point. You're right, the files do open in an ereader on my desktop from the files on my phone.
I'll try Wordplayer support next.
