[Device Plugin] PocketBook Improved Driver

[igorius]

[QUOTE=zisoft;4250107]The read status is two-way sync. No matter where you mark a book as read, it is synced both on the device and in Calibre. You cannot mark a book as unread (you already read it).

Ah, i didnt comment that i deleted the books via Finder, not via calibre. So the database on the PB didnt change. Thats the reason why after reinstalling books on the PB opened at the previous reading-position.

But by the way, is there any way to get the actual position synced too?
Thanks much again for your great help!

The actual position is stored in the device database too so in principle it would be possible to sync that to another user defined column in calibre. But how would that be useful?

Coming from Kobo and the "Kobo utilities" plugin, I would welcome such a feature as well. Sure it's just a gimmick, but nice to see how the reading progress is in a particular book.
But of course it would only make sense if the bookmarks could be saved too.

Ok, I will take a look :-)

Can you tell what values you used in device.py?

EDIT: Ok, found it in your previous post:

PocketBook1040:

Produkt-ID: 0x0001
Hersteller-ID: 0x18d1 (Google Inc.)
Version: 1.01
Seriennummer: 20080411
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 480 MBit/s
Hersteller: Obreey

[igorius]

The only value i changed was the Vendor_ID = [0x18d1]. Device_ID not changed, The values BCD i didnt understand what they are for. (unchanged)
I had a look inside explorer-3.db, it would be possible to calculate the reading-position in table book_settings from fields "cpage / npage * 100".
Without your plugin the internal PocketBook 701 Plugin was used, the variant for PB740 from John Schember. The PocketBook Touch Lux 2 plugin was never used with my Inkpad X, i tested this by deactivating all PB-Plugins and activating for every test only one of them. (The 2 701-plugins work together, if i deactivate one of them, the other gets deactivated too. Vice versa with activating them...
I hope that helps a bit...

[igorius]

Other thing which would be good: Last time, when book was open to read.
(Ok, i tend to be perfect...

Maybe that helps too?

I have uploaded a test version.
Can you please install this version and check if your device (PB1040) is detected.

See Post #2 of this thread.

[igorius]

@zisoft: Boyah! Device is being recognized, showing relevant info like before!
I think, reading status (#read) is not implemented? It doesnt sync that info. (2 books which i have read the last 3 days dont get synced the read-status)

Here is the debug-data for your convinience:

Thanks very much, great job!!!

One small glitch still there: I changed the metadata from 3 books, when i did the copy to reader, these 3 books were copied again, the metadata wasnt updated... On 1 of the books i changed the title slightly, i removed some wrong characters (old book, didnt revise right when i imported that long time ago)

If I delete the column in Calibre for testing, it runs without any delays.
After I created the column again and restarted Calibre, everything is as it was before.
So it seems that the delays are caused by reading this column.

[zisoft]

Released Version 1.0.3 (see first post).

With the help of @igorius we could hopefully solve the long delay issue on device connect.
Added support of PB1040 devices.

Sorry, but on PB Era (PB700) the delay is still there.

Maybe there are interferences with the kobo drivers, or/and the column I created for my kobo devices?
I don't want to remove them just to test, because it's the mentioned #percent_read column.

Do you eventually have an old version of the plugin installed? Remove it and installation should go.
