The manual options for storing the reading status is the same as the automatic option. The manual backup does the same thing as the automatic, but you are prompted where to put the backup and name the file. Quote:

Kobo forma not connecting with Calibre
I have been using my Kobo forma for several years with Calibre (on linux). Recently - last weekend - calibre is unable to connect to the device.
I did a full reset of the device, same result. Linux can connect to the device, I can copy/delete files to the device using linux file manager. But calibre doesn't notice the device. Using Kobo Utilities: v2.14.0 Calibre: 5.22.0 Kobo software version: 4.26.16704 It's not clear to me what changed. Any suggestions on what to try? |

In that case, run calibre in debug mode and post the log after connecting one of the devices. I should be able to see what is happening from that.

Update to version 2.14.1
I have just updated the plugin to fix a problem with the Order Shelves function. The only change is:
Calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. If there are any problems, please report them hee. |

Just had to restore my Forma database from an auto-backup, followed by restoring bookmarks. Glad I have this installed!

Is there a way to pull reading stats for each book from Kobo to the Calibre? I wanted to see my reading speed in a custom Calibre column.
Does anyone knows how to do it? |

At the moment, no. Getting the time spent reading is possible, but has issues with accuracy and doesn't take into account reading the same book on multiple devices. I may add it if I have time.

Thanks David. You're doing a great job with this plugin anyways so I don't wanna ask for too much. If I knew how to write code/plugin I'd help. However I noticed in the Kobo database that the record for time spent reading is stored in it but not in the book metadata. Is that what you are refering to? I'm not sure why this would have issues with accuracy but I thought that storing this information in the Kobo database and not in the metadata actually helps with info for multiple devices. Anyways, hope you have time to implement it the way you think is best.

There are some easier to see columns for time spent reading and when the book was opened elsewhere in the database. This does not appear to be synced. It is effectively the time spent reading a book on the current device. If you read on multiple devices, there isn't really a way to tell what the total time taken is. (Get 10 minutes from one device, then 10 minutes from another. Then, when you plugin in a device, it now has 20 minutes. Without recording each time period and which device it came from, there is no way to know if that is a new 20 minutes, or includes one of the earlier records.) The accuracy of the time recorded has been questioned by plenty of people in the Kobo forum. It's been a while since I bothered to work it out. But, a simple issue is that it includes time when you aren't actually looking at the device. That includes the time between putting the device down and it going to sleep. I have the sleep timer set to 15 minutes. That is frequently triggered, but, it is included in the time the device records for reading. And has been particularly bad while the Olympics was on. I'd be reading in front of the TV, look up to watch an event, and come back when I notice the ereader screen flash as it sleeps. It meant lots of extra time when I wasn't actually reading. The other part is simply the code needed. It needs a new column, plus all the checks to make sure it is updated correctly. I cleaned this up earlier in the year, so it won't be that bad, but it still takes time. And adding it also prompts the question about what other stats, useful or otherwise, can be extracted. Adding this has been in the back of my mind, but, so far I have been able to convince myself it is not something I am interested in ![]() |
