Calibre Send to Device how to change destinationfolder

kathyfromboston · 12-28-2019, 01:02 PM

I have used Calibre for years to send books to my old Samsung Nook tablet. I have a new Samsung tab A and have installed the Nook app on my device. I also have a SD card installed and want to store my books on the SD card. When I process the send to device, it sends it to the Books folder on my SD card. In order for it to automatically show in my Nook library, it needs to go to the Nook/Books folder on my SD card. I know that there is a way to change the folder where the books are sent by Calibre, but for the life of me I cannot find where it is in Calibre. I have looked at every item in the preferences section, but cannot find anything that specifies what folder to use when sending to an SD card.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use explicit paths in the template
/Nook/Books/{Authors}-{title}
remember: paths can be case sensitive. if a template starts with a /, then it is from the root of the path

Thanks so much for your help. I knew there was a way to do it easily, but could not find any instructions on how to accomplish this.
