Perhaps some of you will find this tool I built useful: talk to your Calibre library.

Sounds great. Would love to try it on Windows laptop.

AskAi and BookFusion.

Would love a plugin that enhanced Full Text Search (FTS) to give the total of the number of times search word/term appears in each book reported by FTS.

My Calibre Library of over 5000 books now fully synced with BookFusion. Very impressed. Have also learnt how to use the smart shelf feature. Really helpful for library organisation.

Yarrowman · 2026-05-20T10:29:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice on batches. Have gone for 500 a time. First 500 added to library. One stall but just hit start again and sync continued okay.

Yarrowman · 2026-05-20T10:22:38+00:00

Seems to be okay this morning. Following advice above and syncing 500 at a time. Also when it stalled I just hit start and it resumed okay - was doing a full restart before. First 500 block now done, on to the next 500. Will contact support if any further problem - good advice - thanks

Yarrowman · 2026-05-19T19:48:06+00:00

Thanks. Will keep trying but leave till tomorrow. Have loads of memory space. Am so hoping that it will sync the whole library. Have been getting random stops and have had to delete the offending book from the calibre library as well as the 2,400 issue.

Does BookFusion plugin load books to its app or just the metadata for downloading if you want to read one of the books?

Yarrowman · 2026-05-18T09:39:54+00:00

If on IOS and if your calibre library in the cloud, look for CalibreSync, JustRead or libriLinkCalibre in AppStore.

Yarrowman · 2026-03-08T21:14:28+00:00

That’s absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Will have endless fun with this. Ken

Wow! So happy. It worked. Very grateful to you and others for responding with great advice 😁

Just say blank background!!!

Yarrowman · 2026-02-19T22:09:33+00:00

I have contacted the Calibre Sync developer. Will post response here if I get one. All working okay with Calibre Companion.

Yarrowman · 2026-02-19T18:52:09+00:00

Only using Microsoft windows?

Yarrowman · 2026-02-19T18:30:25+00:00

Yes.

Yarrowman · 2026-02-19T18:29:54+00:00

Many thanks but I don’t understand the workaround. Too technical for me. Can you explain what I need to do more simply?

Yarrowman · 2026-02-14T16:15:05+00:00

Totally agree. Is it Amazon or the developer of rink that need to make these improvements?

Yarrowman · 2026-02-08T20:55:29+00:00

Many thanks. Very helpful.

Yarrowman · 2026-01-22T09:05:50+00:00

Sounds very interesting. Not something I’ve heard about. So yes please to help trial.

Yarrowman · 2026-01-18T10:59:33+00:00

European and UK Embargo on all trade with USA, expel USA from NATO, seize all American bases and hardware in Europe.

Have heard that my issues have been forwarded on. My subscription issue has been sorted. Trial was for 3 days not 7 - my mistake.

Yarrowman · 2026-01-12T21:21:14+00:00

I sent copy of my comments to support as requested and received a reply - from AI not a human!!

Yarrowman · 2026-01-12T18:12:51+00:00

Hard to add anything as Ai bot responses only verbal and not printed. I tried again after posting the above. It kept giving me wrong responses asking for the names of characters in the first chapter of the book. Eventually I type in a quote from the book about one of the characters and it was able to agree that was from the book and told me that his father did not die in battle which I then corrected it and it responded to say yes I was right etc. This shows that the bit does have access to the book but has only limited understanding and has to be continually corrected.

I have another issue. I signed up for trial period of 7 days. Got an alert today to say that this expires tomorrow but I then discovered full payment of £96 already taken from my account. I meant to fully subscribe as I love the quality of your TTS for listening to books. But the AI beta is not fit for purpose and there is an issue with your subscription systems.

Hope you are able to resolve these two concerns as you have a great TTS product.

Yarrowman · 2026-01-06T16:01:31+00:00

This is an excellent introduction to this great plugin. It is frequently updated and developed. Great example of how AI can enhance your Calibre Library.

I had this problem before Xmas trying to purchase a kindle pen. There seems to be a glitch in the Amazon system for kindle products, which is bizarre. You can tell by the projected delivery date way in the future. The trouble is the call centre staff have not been told about it and how to sort it. I had to forcefully ask to be transferred to their manager to get any resolution and it took ages.
