Continuing my reading of some of the great works of literature in Calibre today! This time it's The Kingdom of God is Within You, by Leo Tolstoy. It's an interesting book, I appreciate it for its advocacy of nonviolence, a rare message to hear these days. Besides, I enjoy reading about other people's perspectives of the world!

Falls sich noch wer wundert: #calibre #plugins für Metadaten mit Verbindung zu Amazon (u.a. Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle Hi-Res Cover) funktionieren seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr.
Problem liegt nicht bei Calibre, sondern auf der Gegenseite, die diese Daten wohl vor "AI-Scraping" schützen will und daher auch die Anfragen von Calibre blockiert.

Auf Reddit findet man dazu einige Einträge.

@mike Because i don't trust Amazon i always use my kindle in airplane mode and I never connect to internet. I use an e-book #software called #calibre to organize my e-books and to upload them to kindle.

Happy: got a Kobo Clara BW ereader and it's a big upgrade from my 2018 Kindle Paperwhite.
- treats my sideloaded books as part of my regular library instead of shunting them off into 'documents'
- sorts even sideloaded books by series, Author, etc
- integrated with Overdrive, so I can borrow books from my local public library directly from my device
- newer screen tech=faster refresh rates
- usb c is just nice

Anyways, it's awesome and I'm very happy.

I also debated a Boox Go Gen II with the stylus (I miss my Note 8 tablet w/stylus), but decided against it because of battery life, repairability, and water proofness (that tablet's battery pillowed and my battery repair failed).

Also, shout-out to Humble Bundle for selling me a ton of DRM-free books to sideload. I recently got the Mercedes Lackey and Robert Silverberg mega bundles. #calibre #kobo #ereaders #happyhappy #boox #humblebundle

Notes for June 1–7

I decided to take a couple of days off and generally tune out, thanks to a few strategically placed bank holidays – which meant my usual mix of relaxing and dealing with a few chor(...)

Bonjour les utilisateurices de #Kobo et #calibre !

Est-ce que vous savez comment je peux faire pour importer facilement des #ebooks directement classées dans les #catégories que j'ai organisées dans ma #Kobo #Libra 2 ?
➡️ Faut-il créer au préalable plusieurs bibliothèques distinctes dans calibre et les importer une à une dans la Kobo en reclassant chaque lot manuellement dans la bonne catégorie sur la liseuse (fastidieux) ?
➡️ Ou y a-t-il une astuce pour accéder directement aux répertoires de catégories dans la Kobo quand on la branche sur l'ordi pour y ranger nos ebooks comme dans des dossiers d'une clé usb ?
➡️ Avez-vous une autre astuce ?

Merci !

Anyone using KOReader and Calibre able to offer me some assistance with the KOReader Sync plugin in Calibre? I'm getting a weird error message when trying to sync.

I am not on Reddit, Github, Discord, or any of the other websites that people inexplicably think should be the gatekept source of information about *insert thing here*; do not recommend that I go to them for help.
