Reinstall Calibre Companion on Android not seeing books on SD
My books are on SD and CC was working fine. I had to uninstall the app and reinstall it after a series of other app upgrades. CC is reinstalled, pointing to the SD library. It shows the books, but they are grayed out. I can read the books if I open them from a file manager.
How do i get CC to see and open the books? |

To answer you question: you don't say but I assume you are running Android 5 or later. If my assumption is correct then all you need to do is use CC's Settings / Formats and folders to reselect the same folder containing the books. This allows CC to regain permission to access the books from Android's Storage Access Framework. CC lost that permission when you reinstalled it. If my assumption is not correct then you need to give me more information. Best would be a CC debug log. Instructions are in this FAQ. |

I re-synced with Calibre and re-imported the books. Looks like it just over-copied them as I only see one version of each. |
