Calibre Library

I also downloaded other calibre stuff maybe they would work together but no. Setting up is confusing, so maybe you can assist me on this, if not I would like to request for refund please. Thanks!

The last update broke down-loading. I'm using Calibre-Library on a tablet running Andriod 6.0.1. Before the November 2016 update, all was well. I could d/l to intermal folder or on SD. Now, I have to jump through hoops---reenter the d/l folder name on the SD two or three times before I can D/L books from my connection server. The error message is that the folder is read-only. It is not. After jumping through enough hoops, I can d/l books but this is getting REAL OLD! I'm downgrading Calibre-Library from 5-Stars to 3-Stars. I hope the developer gets this fixed.

The logo is similar but it doesn reformat or edit metadata or alot of other things that the very excellant PC does. I think this may be a scam.

Adequate but needs two additional features: 1. Ability to specify which app to use to open a book; 2. Ability to store more than one server address.

Used to be the perfect companion to my virtual library, but calibre DOES NOT WORK with my Verizon, lollipop version 5.0.2. The download path is nonexistent and seeing as how you can't select your own path (for whatever reason, calibre makes this decision for you), you're screwed. The books exist in a non accessible virtual directory that you can't access. Broken. 1 star. Uninstalled and forgotten. Junk.

It is possible to choose a download location in other 5.0 apps. Having downloaded books in /sdcard/android/data/ is just lazy.

Now it has become useless. You can no longer pick a download directory. I am uninstalling it.

Not sure what use this app has...doesn't open or associate with any eBook format...All it does is download useless manuals and titles. Piece of crap.

I can no longer specify the books directory either on Android 4.4 or 5. As My Moon Reader points to my original directory with all my files in it, and I've loads of books downloaded onto a specified directory in main memory (not sd card), this app is now totally useless.

WAS a great app for calibre users. I can no longer specify the download directory. I used to use it to download .mobi files to my kindle app's directory. I can no longer do so.

This used to be a really good app but the recent updates for Android 5 have broken it as you can no longer specify the download folder and it puts the books in the wrong place for the Kindle reader. A real shame!

Brilliant.

works great!

I tried to configure this on my.3.2 Android device and never could get it to work. After following all the suggestions on the app help and Humanoid website it was.past the refund window. I contacted Humanoid by email but got no response to either help get it working or receive a refund, so this app was a complete waste of money - hence, buyer beware!

Fantastic app - easy to set up and works perfectly.

This app is a must-have for ANY calibre user. It makes browsing and transferring your ebooks from your pc-served calibre library a breeze. Some initial small problems were immediately and effectively addressed by the author -- effort on his part that results in the app becoming useful for a much larger number of users. I look forward to future revisions as this app develops. @Uyen: I hate to tell you, but the problem is almost certainly you. This author doesn't leave anyone hanging.

App seems to work well and 3 bucks can't go wrong. Instead of pointing to a Calibre server, would be nice if you could point it to a local XML OPDS file. That way a person could use Calibre2OPDS to generate the library with links to local EPUB files, sync to Dropbox and then down to device via Dropbox and use this app as a generic local OPDS browser... Would be perfect solution to my Nook Touch library issue!

This app is perfect. It does exactly what it should, with no hassles. I can't even describe how much time I've spent with other apps trying to sync with calibre - and this is the only one that works. Well done. Well worth the price!!

Connected to my main library fine. Downloads fine. Problem: I really want to be able to just sync the entire library rather than downloading one by one. (or the tiny batch that another app offers). Also in the list of books, it doesn't show which ones I've already downloaded until I tap on the book. A wee flag or something would be nice. Lack of mass download or sync ability cost it 1 star.

I would LOVE it if we could restrict the formats shown or at least have the page not scroll to the top when multiple formats are available.

Type in your IP address, start Calibre, and download to your tablrt to your heart's content.

Excellent app, would have five stars if it allowed for multiple calibre servers to chose from in the menu.

This works great with my Transformer tablet. Very easy to use. Synced with my Calibre server no problems.

Works great on my rooted Nook Simple Touch! Perfect companion to Calibre and rooted e-ink reader.

But dev very reasonable with quick communication and refund outside Google 15-minute window. Shame though, the Calibre desktop version was exactly what I was looking for

I also downloaded other calibre stuff maybe they would work together but no. Setting up is confusing, so maybe you can assist me on this, if not I would like to request for refund please. Thanks!

I was expecting an app that would acess the Calibre folder allowing me to make changes to the database, this is not it, this is read olny with very few options, the covers are very small and the Calibre application has to be running on your computer. Set up is not easy.

There should be some better instructions on how to set this up, but after your done the asp works great.

Most people are considering problems with Calibre to be problems with this. For the review below that called this a scam, I am sorry you could not figure out how to go to this authors site and read his description on how to configure Calibre to serve your library. He did not have to write the Calibre tutorial mind you, he did it to be helpful. Other people are looking for this to "sync" their library... do you really read 12 books at once? It is not supposed to "sync" your library, you check your books out, 1 at a time. The person asking for calibre2opds, again... learn to use Calibre. Go to http://yourserver:port/opds or http://yourserver:port/stanza I am having small issues when downloading some things with this app now that I have a Nexus 7 though. Nothing major, Usually monkeying with it gets me the expected results...but sometimes it just fails to start a download. Normally happens when I get it, realize I want to modify it...then delete and try and redownload from my server.

Being a book geek I love Calibre and used it extensively in conjunction with my Kobo Touch. Naturally when I finally purchased my first Android tablet (Nexus 7) exporting my eBook library to my device was one of the first tasks on my agenda. After fiddling about with manually placing my books on the SD card and being left unsatisfied by the lack of customization options in the Akido reader I stumbled across this app. Being a self confessed 'noob' I was slightly lost at first as it wasn't immediately apparent what I had to do to sync the device with my library. Eventually, I found the 'connect/share' button on the desktop program and then clicked 'start wireless connection'. After this I was away, syncing my vast library with properly formatted author and book names complete with customized front covers. Thanks to the team at Calibre for making eReading such a pleasurable and unique experience, and for placing the power back in the hands of the reader rather than the Amazon type corporations.

I have this program on my desktop and love it. Unfortunately, I after following all online suggestion, I still can't use the program. I was unable to get a refund because it took so much time to try and setup. Don't buy this program. Use the desktop version and save the money.

I gave the application one star because I could not get this application going. It may be that the problem is not with this app. I couldn't get the network server in Calibre going. After following the trouble shooting procedures for a couple of hours, I gave up. There are too many points in the network between Calbre, Window Firewall, and the Android OS where the problem could occur and it's not worth it (to me) to spend hours to resolve the problem. I have a lot of technical expertise; so, someone who isn't technical will have little chance. The work around is to copy the eBooks from the Calibre library to the Android library via USB connection.

If you can't figure out how to install and configure this, you probably don't need it. As easy as any other opds client - great work!

This app won't download anything. You have to be very tech savvy to use it and if you are not then it is just a waste money.

I've used it to connect with a USB cable, but it doesn't want to connect using a wireless connection. Wish I'd checked this earlier so I could have had a refund applied

Installed on my Nexus 7 and worked right off the bat. Just turned on wireless in Calibre PC, put IP in via app settings, changed storage to my already existing ebook folder, and voila. Had been using the web interface through Aldiko catalogs for couple years, but this has a nice interface and I wanted to support the development to hopefully get some features I would like to see in the future, e.g. setting rating in the app, flagging books already downloaded, showing more information like last read, not blinking out when wifi is off, etc. I think it is still too early to give it 5 stars, but I can see the potential.

But it's a lot of hassle to get there. A previous reviewer implies we should be grateful for the tutorial. I disagree. I think we should take it for granted and had the developer not provided one I've no doubt there'd be a great many more unhappy customers. Even with tbe tutorial there was a lot of cussing before I finally got it running ok. And in response to the same reviewer on a different complaint, no I don't read 12 books simultaneously but I still want my whole library on my tab. Hope that's ok.

No way to convert a book using this app but it's great for downloading books from your library. Searches are working now with the latest update. Wish you could search only particular fields like title only or author but I'm happy with the app as is.
