Cloning the contents of a device

smiley1081 · 01-03-2016, 11:47 AM

Hello,
I had a look in the older threads, but I could not find anything related, so I created a new one... :-D

I am moving from an old Bookeen Cybook Opus to a new Kobo Glo HD that will arrive in a few days.

On the Opus I have 253 book.

How do I tell Calibre: "You see that 253 books? Copy them from the library to the new device!"

I do not want to copy them from a device to the other, because I think that a few books on the Opus are corrupted.

And my Calibre library contains 565 books, and I do not want ALL of them on the Glo...

Any idea on how to do it?

Thanks.

Tag em'

with the old device connected (and settled)
Search: ondevice:true
Select all
tap 'E' (bulk metadata edit): In add tag, assign a unique tag (Old_opus?)
OK

when the new one arrives, just select old_opus (tags:Old_opus) and send those

Or use the Reading List plugin to auto populate a list based on what's on a device.
