What users are saying

1. Then I want the app to show me my local on device catalogs up front, let me switch between these catalogs, browse the books, mark books as read (and sync that status to Google Drive, and archive them from the main list) and open the book in my preferred reader.

2. I can still send books to the device, but it seems meta-data sync has stopped working so changes made in Calibre are not being sent to the device and I just found that none of the books I've read in a while now have been marked as read in Calibre.

3. Instead this is the flow I have to use: whenever I add a new book to Calibre, have to go into CC reconnect to Google Drive, navigate to the catalog, click Titles so I view them all then sub-menu > Download All -- and then it tells me that 90% of my books don't have acceptable format/extensions.Exactly what I need.

4. I have several Calibre catalog's and all I really want is the app to connect once to Google Drive, make note of which Calibre catalogs I have and then automatically sync their contents behind the scenes to my Android device with no further interactions.

5. It's almost like a mobile version of Calibre, only that it doesn't include a viewer, but it works flawlessly with your third party viewer app of choice.I initially tried the demo version which was very easy to use.

6. Makes it super easy to wirelessly send my Calibre books to my phone.

7. :( Almost at the two year mark with no updates.Followed all of the instructions and it won't allow me to connect, so I have no way to read books on my phone because I can't access them.

8. However, taking the defaults this allows you to keep your books sync'd and gives several options for how you read them.The interface is so incredibly clunky.

9. Now I can't get it to sync wirelessly with Calibre I have to have internet Drive.Excellent interface with Calibre.

10. It also performs the function of a mobile Library, making it easy ro browse my synced book collection on my phone - even showing my custom metadata fields.

11. When you connect to your Google Drive, navigation is super slow as it scans everything rather than let you just navigate to your library.

I just got a new Samsung (A53) phone. On my old Samsung (A20) phone I have lots of downloaded Calibre files with lots of annotations in them. I did a Smart Switch that transferred all (or most) of my files from my old phone to my new phone. But when I open Calibre Companion on my new phone, I don't see any of the files that I see when I open Calibre Companion on my old phone. I think that those files are somewhere on my new phone, but wherever they are Calibre Companion on my new phone doesn't know about them. Can you help? Martin

Bonjour J'ai un très grand nombre de livres sur ma tablette. J'aimerais séparer cette bibliotheque en plusieurs et les gérer avec calibre companion. Est ce possible? Si oui comment?
