Multiple formats - What gets sent

edbro · 01-20-2010, 07:55 PM

If I have both an epub and an lrf copy of the same book, and both in the same database entry, which one gets sent to the device? (PRS-505). Can I control which one gets sent? I presume the "preferred output format" option only controls how Calibre converts an input file. I didn't see anything that would indicate preferred transfer format.

Go to Preferences, Plugins, Device Interface Plugins, Your reader. Click on Customize Plugin. This will open a dialog with a few options. The first thing you will see is a list of formats. When multiple supported formats are in a book entry the one closer to the top of the list will be sent. If you prefer lrf to epub put lrf above epub in the list to have it sent. Select a format and use the up and down arrows to change their position. Also, the first format in the list will be used for auto conversion and if you uncheck a format it will be ignored as a format your reader supports.

Got it, thank you. I'd have never found that one!
