FBReader: Calibre connection

Does not work. Nothing I did would make my tablet and Calibre talk to each other or acknowledge each others' existence. Not even any incompatibility messages, just a continued instance that there is no catalog to connect to.

After added Calibre server to library, when I visited it, said http/1.1 500 Internal server error. But I test the server on PC, it works fine. Update needed.

Highly configurable. My only complaint is navigating my library - tedious. I prefer to connect to my PC and transfer from Calibre.

...search does not work well. I type in some words of a title and it does not find the books. Why?

It works as expected.

This is game changer for me.

Awesome combination

After years of use my device as ebook reader, fbreader is the first application I install when I upgrade my device , cell phone or tablet. This is the best ebook reader I tried

Connects to Calibre and copies books across fine. However, metadata seems to be lost - author, title etc are all gone. Is this a bug or some extra setup step I need to do which could be made clearer?

I can't find my app to download more books. The store says it is already installed but is no longer on my phone. I uninstalled and then reinstalled; still not coming up my please fix this

I have a nit. Actually, for my use case, it's a serious problem. As advertised, it does seamlessly connect with the calibre server on my local network. However, it (or maybe the install of FBReader Pro) removed the calibre server on a potentially external network, and I'm having trouble putting it back. I don't think it should have taken away a feature I had working. In other words, typing in the URL was a major pain, partly because it is not documented that the URL is different for FBReader than for a browser. It is now easy, if it's a URL on the local network. (You have to add /opds for FBReader). Typing the URL for a non-local network is still a major pain, if possible at all, and this plugin or some other part of the FBReader infrastructure is making me do it again twice.

I love FBR Reader, it has done everything required. I've upgraded to Premium, and now I'm encountering features that I'm unsure whether I need them or not. I don't know what Calibre is, or DjVu. I just want to read books with no fuss, preferably offline. I could do that better with FBR free. Still love the main App, though.

It works as expected.

Helpful with calibre

I have been a fan of this app until moving to the Note 4. I cannot get my Calibre Content Server recognized. It worked on my old phone. Not on my new one. Is there a forum I can go for help on this? I'm dropping this to 1 star until I fix it.

Makes everything easier.

I love the FBReader app & plugins but I haven't actually been able to use all. I don't currently have Calibre installed & running on a desktop to use this but plan to. I have no djvu type books & have never seen any. Still, everything is great. IDK tho, I got the paid version & wonder if this, like other plugins, is now built in.

It keeps asking for pluggings for everything...

But it's NOT the only OPDS server. Don't call it a Calibre plugin unless it's for adding wireless device sync or such.

I have used this program on Windows 0$, All FBR downloads in the past are clean, I know the general rule by Geometer is all plugins or bonus add ons are different downloads & separate installs. Google play or Android market has everything however its not the best navigation system in the world. What slows the adding of plugins is all the icons are the same... knowing your not interested in 1 plugin with everything (and I agree, why install if never used), you make a numbered list. 0 is the FBReader main .exe .apk and 01 thru whatever have a static number that never changes & you make new icons that include said number (by script=easy). Also every new app added will update all your older app descriptions. This would make it faster for new installation and upgrades.... I have not run this android version yet, limited time right now, 5 star early! I miss the right mouse button on phones/tablets, copy, cut, paste... screen shots, full or sections, extract all images, text, urls, author info, etc... bookmarks, last viewed files, unlimited history... highlighting text with different colors, searchable by color & keyword.. sidenotes.

Installed Fbreader (ver 1.9.6.1) in ma nexus 5 Post which i downloaded couple of epubs from my gmail and the same got placed in the downlads folder of my nexus5 mobile. initally FBreader allowed me to add those epubs to the library and i started using it. was entharalled by the reading experience in FBreader, however it didn't last long. When i connected my nexus5 to cpu for charging some thing went wrong with the FBreader syncing and now my attempts to re-add the epubs to FBreader has failed gravely. Will appreciate if any of u help me to sort this.

The plugin is good, simple to use, has all the features you might want (has even a "scan local network" for the lazy or dhcp users) BUT does not have any kind of field for a password. So I'm giving it only 4 stars. For now. If you only use it on your own lan it's worth 5 stars hands down.

Password entering support would be a nice addon.

This plugin does not recognize ANY OPDS server, let alone calibre.

Simple and working perfect

Just awesome

Love TTS...
