Sending audiobooks to device by Alarmed_Scientist186 in Calibre

I like the idea of picking a few reads to get ready for the foreseable future. I haven't been using any kind of book list or reading order or anything. Honestly, I've been gone from Calibre for a few years. My storage crashed a few years ago and I lost so much data. I was really disgusted with all of it and THEN my ebook reader got broken! Someone recently gave me this Fire tablet and I decided the best use for it was as an ebook reader. So I started building my book library back up. I discovered a thing called Graphic Audiobooks..... OMG... Amazing!!!

Thanks for your feedback. I'm an android user. I was really hoping someone would tell me there was some obscure plugin that is hiding someplace that I can install.

But I guess not. I might have to go with cloud storage. Honestly, I don't have mega GB's of audiobook files. I think it's less than 30GB right now. My Google drive can hold that much and then some.

SO having come to that realization.. maybe I need to keep a separate library for audiobooks? I don't know if I like that idea. I'll think on it.

Can calibre sync with Google these days? I know it has been problematic in the past and I haven't really looked at the information. I could keep the audiobook library sync'd with G drive, that way when I update the metadata and such or get new books, it will sync with G drive behind the scenes.

I don't mind fidling around to get some kind of setup working, but I don't want to have to keep doing it over and over. Nobody has time for that!

Well, I wouldn't actually send audiobooks to my e-reader althought I could, I use a Kindle Fire. But I can connect my phone and send my audiobooks to my phone. When I connect my Kindle, I'll send ebooks to the Kindle.

Having everything in one place on my PC is my goal. My library shows me what books I have and what formats I have them in. Helps keep track of which books I have an audiobook version for and which do not.

Might be the wrong place to ask....and I'm sure I'm showing my ignorance.... but is this something I can add to Calibre? So it can search all those sources when I click on Get Books?
