I have weird but good news. Today, after reading tyche's reply, and after my many failed attempts mentioned earlier in this thread, I opened Stanza on my iPhone to create a book source for Calibre.
The "books in calibre" item showed as before, and I clicked on it... and it instantly showed my Calibre catalog. The speed is particularly impressive, since I have over 2500 items in Calibre currently. I have no idea why it suddenly started working today, but I'm pleased it is. Puzzled, but pleased. ![]() |

This is what I did:
* Set the Preferred Output Format in calibre to EPUB (The output format can be set under Preferences->General) * Set the output profile to iPad (this will work for iPhone/iPods as well), under Preferences->Conversion->Page Setup * Convert the books you want to read on your iPhone to EPUB format by selecting them and clicking the Convert button. * Turn on the Content Server in calibre‘s preferences and leave calibre running. Then I put in the url with my ip address and it still doesnt work. Do i need to use stanza desktop?? |

How I put all my books on my ipod using Calibre and ITunes
I have hundreds of books and documents I wanted on my Ipod. They were in TXT, DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, LIT, PRC and PDF formats. I converted the TXT, DOC, DOCX, RTF to HTML using Open Office "SAVE AS" and configuring Open Office to save the HTML file with Unicode-8. I then dragged them straight into Calibre. I dragged the LITs, PRCs and PDFs straight into Calibre. Calibre will read TXT and RTF natively, but I found I achieved a better result by taking the intermediate step of converting to Unicode-8.
I then went through them all and edited the meta data, then converted them to EPUB. They all kept their formatting, but lost any Table of Contents I had, but short of learning how to edit EPUBs directly I can live with that. Then I went to ITunes and used the ADD FOLDER option to point to my Calibre directory and all its subdirectories. I then synced my Ipod and I could read them using iBooks. If I wanted to use STANZA I went to ITunes APP page for my Ipod and scrolled down to the Stanza section and added the books manually. Next sync they were there. Simple. I'm using Windows Vista with Calibre .77, OS 4 on my IPod Touch 32Gb and Itunes 9.2. I also found that if I edit the meta data of an EPUB, including adding bookcovers, and then reconvert the EPUBs a 2nd time to EPUB in Calibre, overwriting the original file, then ITunes and iBooks will read it all.
