How to disable book conversion upon sending to device

niagara94 · 10-24-2014, 07:14 PM

Hi - Somehow I've got Calibre set to automatically convert books when sending them to my device. Now I need to turn that off (so that there is no conversion when it sends the data to the device) and I don't know how to. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks.

Preferences ==> Interface ==> Behavior

Use the button "Reset all disabled confirmation dialogs".

It will prompt you and give an error message if you say no to the conversion. If you want to send another format, you should connect the device and then configure it as such:

Check the formats you wish to mark as compatible with your device.

Hi - Thank you for your help. I was able to reset the dialogs. As far as setting which formats are compatible with my device, I remembered that in the past I did that on the tablet under settings. Now it's working! Thanks again!
