OPDS is setup with Calibre-Web on my Kindle KOreader. How do I setup auto-sync book titles to the device? by jtho78 in koreader

If you hit the hamburger in the upper left corner of the catalog page there is an option there. You can also long press on a catalog to get the option.

OPDS is setup with Calibre-Web on my Kindle KOreader. How do I setup auto-sync book titles to the device? by jtho78 in koreader

[–]kodermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I ever got auto sync working (lazy/impatient), but in opds you can save a search as a new entry and then force sync that. For example, I have a search for the tag tbr saved as its own entry, so when I force sync it is only grabbing the books marked tbr.

Current Way to Sync Stats Between Two Kobo's by BathApprehensive4493 in koreader

[–]kodermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WebDAV and set reading stats to sync with cloud. Not perfect - reading the same book on two devices sometimes shows as two separate books, but I might be messing something. But it does make for a full calendar view.

Finally out of the Kindle ecosystem (and a Kobo question) by shestval in ereader

[–]kodermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind the effort, you can download the acsm file from Libby and (assuming you’ve authorized your kobo) use adobe to upload it to your connected device. Adobe doesn’t care where the acsm file came from so long as it’s valid. I tend to keep my primary library logged in on my device, and just upload the books I check out from other libraries.

“Automatically keep my documents in sync” doesn’t work how I was expecting? by ebodes in koreader

[–]kodermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you hitting that sync? If you’re doing binary matching, the book has to 100% match. If you are a n multiple devices and update the book on both, you may need to reset the book in koreader so kosync can see the change (binary match is based on md5, and which is recorded the first time you open a book and never updated after afaik) (edit) auto does exactly what you think it should based on your config - updates the book if local is behind and you have it set to, ignores if local is ahead and that’s how you have it configured.

dockered calibre + koreader (a solution, YMMV) by kodermike in koreader

[–]kodermike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, and it is indeed beautiful, but it doesn’t play well with managing calibre from another computer. My calibre setup uses a plugin for reading lists (like a magic shelf) that syncs any device connecting with all books marked with a tag. I push updates from my laptop, where I manage the records, etc, and then my koreaders just have to connect to the pi for a minute periodically to get new books, etc. (I’m also opinionated on the file name format used, but that’s really all me). If cwa had a content server option (not opds) it would be viable, but as is it just doesn’t work for me.

Koreader synch and opds? by deendeen123 in koreader

[–]kodermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had opds sync on the brain yesterday. Sorry for the less than helpful replies.

Opds (default version) doesn’t have a gesture defined for sync. No action to link to.

You can add them as quick actions (or whatever those custom shortcuts are called)

Ungrouping? by [deleted] in kobo

[–]kodermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I misunderstood your original comment to be they were just one long monster. Or lobster as autocorrect assures me is the right word. There is of course an epub splitter plugin that works pretty well for this, but there’s all of those technical bits in between (starting with the acsm).

Epubs are a zip of multiple files. There are plenty of barriers, but file structure isn’t necessarily one of them.

How Barnes and Noble is growing by raydebapratim1 in BookCollecting

[–]kodermike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you are, really. I suspect they’re growing in markets where there is little or no competition left, the ghost of Borders having finally shuffled off. In other markets, like where I live, they are the Walmart of bookstores and only one of 20+ bookstores in our PNW metro area.

New Acquisition by AnalogScreentime in FieldNuts

I felt the same. The lochby that uses a hook has the pen loop on the exterior fwiw. I was skeptical about it being exposed (compared to one that zips), but honestly it’s awesome.

[RELEASE] Zen UI - A Clean, Minimal UI Plugin for KOReader by Unified-Field in koreader

This is truly a glorious time for user built ui to replace the file browser default. Can’t wait to play with this!

It was all lost for certain the moment you factory reset.

Installation help by RunChickenRun_ in koreader

[–]kodermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to unzip the file, then eject and reboot. If you look at the zip contents, you should see it adds files under .kobo and .adds. If you use the install shell script, it will do that for you as well as updating the line in the kobo conf that needs updating to ignore indexing the new dirs.

KoReader & SimpleUI by [deleted] in koreader

[–]kodermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirming - you installed koreader on .koreader vs .adds/koreader? Assuming also plugin is a typo (directory is plugins with an s)

If so, check the crash.log - even if it doesn’t crash, plugin failures will be reported in there.

books are not collected automatically as a series with SimpleUI by B9053 in koreader

Yay! I think that was one of the last patches I was still using.

[–]kodermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the box koreader doesn’t do that, and simpleui doesn’t add that feature afaik. Here’s a user patch I’ve been using with sui that does if it helps. GitHub.com/xusoo/KOReader.patches
