[SOLVED] How to Sync Read Progress between kobo devices using calibre?
SOLVED: TL;DR Version. Make sure your plugin is configured properly. For me I didn't configure the columns
I currently own a Glo. My H2O is arriving soon and I was wondering how can I transfer the reading progress to my new H2O. Last edited by lambstone; 09-07-2015 at 10:04 PM. |

kobo utilities; store reading position and then restore.

Yes, that is the function you should use. I probably shouldn't have used the word "bookmark" here but that is how I thought of it at the time I wrote this. Plus it matches what I do with a paper book to mark where I am up to (use a bookmark, not turn the corner of the page down). Because of the confusion, I generally use "current reading position" when describing what the function does.

But, there shouldn't be any difference with how the Glo and the H2O display a book (other than screen size and resolution). The firmware is common across all the recent Kobo devices. What are you seeing is wrong? |

Here's what I tried again. Plugged in my Glo. Under the KoboUtils preferences, created a profile and set it for anydevice. Selected all the books in my library. Clicked on "Store or restore bookmarks", store, none of the checkbox were checked. Stored under the active profile. Bookmark Retrieved =430 Unplugged Glo. Plugged H2O. Active profile is same as for Glo. Clicked on restore, with all 3 checkbox ticked. Books Updated = 440 Seems like its still not working |

Good to hear. I'll have to look at the code to see why it tried to do anything when the columns weren't configured. If only one or two columns are configured it will work, but it should complain if there are none.
