    Thank you! I was so annoyed that the KOBO manager didn't import my downloaded books so I couldn't edit the wrong names/ cover art etc. but this looks perfect :D

    Sometimes you go a little to fast and don't explain what you did to do something. For example at 3:33 you did something to show the progress of the conversion, what was that?

    This video may be helpful if you have these questions, but it's more likely you need to "Add books" to your library, and it's likely you have quite a few. Browse to the folder they're in and there is no mechanism for selecting all of them. You do it one at a time, or the interface blows up. I'm not clear on how this is supposed to be helpful. This on version 3.10.0

    when you have a epug file, and you convert it to azw3 or mobi for the kindle.. when you send that to de device, both formats are sent? Or Calibre knows that it has to send only the mobi formated book?

    Michael, thank you so much for your great video. I have been trying to find information on how to take the Kindle ebooks I have downloaded onto my laptop (Windows 10) and add them to Calibre, mainly in order to sort them.

  • @Joostrenaultf1
    @Joostrenaultf1 9 лет назад +4

    Why not drag and drop to your device? It'll prompt you to convert, saves you lots of steps.
    For downloading metadata; it'll be good to know that you can install some more localized plugins for searching and downloading this information. Maybe in a next video ;)
    Thanks for the video!

      I had a similar problem with my kindle and the problem was that I was using a 3rd party USB cable, rather than the one that came from Amazon. This might not be any help, but I just thought I’d throw this info out there.

    Can I just say, I absolutely hate Calibre. It has changed all my Word files so that every time I try to open them, I have to do so through their god awful software that looks like it was made in the 1980s. It is possibly the most un-userfriendly software I have ever used and I can`t get it off my computer. Use an alternative and save yourself the hassle of this shit on the sole of the devil`s shoe.
