Cannot send two books to a device at the same time. I can only send either or

HalbonPO · Yesterday, 10:25 PM

Hi,

I'm sure this is a common issue, but I couldn't search for it.
Can someone help me?
I use Kobo Clara BW.
Just for certain books in a series (Book 1, Book 2, etc.)
If I try to send both Book 1 and Book 2, it only sends the most recent one I exported.
So, for instance, Book 2 got transferred.
If I try to transfer Book 1, it gets transferred, but Book 2 is automatically removed.
I tried changing the name, changing the template to add the ID, etc., but to no avail.
Other series are fine, and it just happens from time to time.
Can someone shed some light on this, please?

That sounds as if your send to device save template is generating identical file names. Can you post it here?

Code:

Ebook/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}

Note that I do not use the series in the template since Kobo ereaders support series out of the box.
