My system is a
There are also two '/Books/" folders with a few more books if I need to read something in Nickel.
The problem:
Calibre does not update the 'metadata.calibre' database on SD card and on board.
I can connect the reader to the PC in 4 ways:
With the 3 other ways a got the same results.
If the database is created (with the Android way) Calibre can see the books in the reader (can read the database and the addresses).
But if I add a book from explorer and reopen Calibre, it doesn't update the database. It can not see the book in the /.Books/ folder.
If I delete the database files, it finds only the books in the "/Books/" directories but not in the "/.Books/".
I tried with the 'Kobo Touch' driver and 'Kobo Touch Extended'.
The settings are the same on both, and since I don't use kepubs I can use either of them.
I'm certain that there is an obvious thing that I'm missing, but I can't find it.
Update: To make things even more interesting ...
Just when I was finishing the post, I tried to check if it can send the books into the SD card, so I reconnected the reader.
After countless tries with restarts and reboots, changing everything that I could think off, Calibre can not connect anymore to the reader with anything except Android.
It gives me this error:
I tried with a working set of database files (working just 10 minutes ago) and with everything cleared(no Calibre files at both roots).
I can see the reader in the PC just fine.
The only thing I did before was to try to search in the database with Koreader, which worked OK.
I don't think its relevant, but just stating the events.
Anyway, its getting really late.
I give up for today...
