Automatic sync of Calibre library with Kobo

maxcerruti · 10-31-2019, 08:40 PM

Hi everyone

Is there a way to automatically sync the content of my Calibre library with my Kobo Clara HD? I've tried everything so far (including moving the location of my library, playing with all possible Preference settings in 'Adding books' and 'Sending books to devices') but to no avail. The only way I can send content from Calibre to my Kobo is to manually click 'Send to Device'.

I would love to be able to automate this process.

Look forward to any suggestions - thx!

Calibre doesn't support auto sync to devices. But, you can probably achieve something like what you want using the Reading List plugin. With this, you create a reading list that will automatically sync the list to the device. Then, add new books to the list and when the device is connected, the plugin can do the syncing.
