sync Stanza library to Calibre database?
i brought this up in another thread; figured I'd go ahead and post as stand-alone question:
After uploading numerous books to my iPad, I went thru the Calibre database and made various corrections and changes to some of the book entries: I fixed title misspellings, did author sort corrections, swapped out some of the book covers, etc. How can I make these changes take effect on the iPad/Stanza? (without deleting and re-copying over the books I've changed). In Calibre I've gone to Preferences | Add/Save | Sending to device and changed the "Metadata management" to "Automatic management"... to no effect. Any ideas? |

Hi, I got the same problem and the best solution was to erase the whole collection in Stanza and start from scratch with the updated books.
Any better solution? Cheers! |

Well, the approach that I've been taking is to use Calibre2opds to publish my books to a DropBox folder each time I make changes to the Calibre DB, then just download the next book or two from the 'cloud' as I read them, deleting them from the iPad once read.
I might sync a load to the iPad if I'm going to be offline for a while, but so far that's not been needed, even with a wifi-only iPad. |
