Calibre Companion Cannot Find My Reader

akailiajade · 12-30-2020, 04:40 PM

I've been using Calibre with Calibre Companion for years now. I have Calibre Companion installed on both my Android Tablet & Android Phone. I have used the paid version of FB Reader very successfully for years. Now, all of a sudden, CC cannot find FB Reader & I can't figure out why.

My Tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 from 2019 running Android Version 10.

Calibre Companion Version is 5.4.4.19 (410)

FB Reader version is 3.0.29 from December 24, 2020.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both Calibre Companion and FB Reader, but I still can't make CC recognize FB Reader.

Do any of you very fine, much smarter than me, folks have any ideas about what I can try next? Man do I hate it when something works like a charm for literally years, then one day, BAM, stops working without explanation!

Thanks for any help you can offer & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Then it will probably be the FB Reader version that CC no longer wants.

You may be right. The problem seems to be fixed now & I'm not even sure how. Just happy to be able to read my books in my preferred reader again.

Thanks for your reply & Happy New Year!!🥳🎇🎉
