    Calibri won't detect my device, it did before, anyone know what to do?

    Try for your efforts. Unfortunately it is hard to see... next time try to use screen space better. Otherwise, great!

      Ok. For me it’s not hard to see. I don’t watch RUclips on phones. I watch on large displays. And it’s 4K so just zoom in on the video with your fingers if you are not watching on a large display.

      I had no issues because I'm using 4k but he's got a point. You should record with less dpi so the elements and text in the videos aren't extremely small. 4k is nice, but most people aren't using it still when it comes to computer displays.

    Hi, I don't currently have a kindle but thinking about buying one. I heard that you can have a audiobook on Kindle. So if you own the audiobook version and the normal kindle version do those come up as 2 separate books in your library or comes up as 1 and syncs up where you left of? I'm thinking about pirating my books to get the files then transferring my books via calibre but I'm just curious if it's possible to do audiobooks as well and if they sync with the normal kindle text version. Thanks

    • @svartling
      @svartling  Год назад +1

      I don’t have audiobooks in Calibre but I know that you can choose in the settings to merge them into one record in the database. Same as I show in this video with different ebook formats into one record. I also know that you can never get them to sync where you left of. That doesn’t work.

      You mean it’s too big so it gets too small for you? It’s full 4K UHD. I can understand it gets too small if you watch it on a phone.

    Do the newer kindle devices use EPUB? My wife's only uses MOBI. She just got a new one I haven't gotten to set up for her yet.

    • @svartling
      @svartling  5 месяцев назад

      Mobi is an old format that doesn’t support the latest standards of formatting. That’s why Amazon recommends you to use epub now when transferring the books. They convert it to the KFX format though but that is not something you will notice. Mobi doesn’t support that

    I didn't connect to the internet with my ereader for a while, I did it just now, and what happened was that with the new update (new graphical outlook and everything, very nice), it also massively complicated my library.
    Before the update I simply transferred files from Calibre to my Kindle and it would display
    first name last name for the authors, but SORT by last name.
    Now it does sort by last name, but displays "last name, first name" which I find immensely annoying. Is there any way to get it to display first name last name on kindle but sort by last name as on the Calibre library on the pc?

    Hi,
    I have had a kindle for more than 10 years and also the Calibre. Yesterday I wanted to send some new books I bought from Calibre to my kindle. I always use cable. I could not see the “send to” bottom anymore? I tried lots of things without success. There is a new layout since an upgrade, but it should not mean that I cannot send via cable. I don’t know my e-mails anymore and I can’t find codes for Amazon- any good ideas? I will be very happy to get help. Thanks a lot - kind regards Tina
