Set the lookup name of your custom Yes/No column in the plugin's configuration dialog (default is '#read') Open Calibre, go to Preferences, Advanced, Plugins and choose Load Plugin from file. This device driver cleans the metadata fields on device connect.ĭownload the `pocketbook632.zip` file. The PocketBook does not handle the metadata of PDF files correctly, mainly the title and author fields are messed up. This is fixed in this device driver, deleting a book on the device from Calibre cleans up the database. Uploading the same book again leads to the effect that the book is not displayed in the library, making it impossible to open it again.

When deleting a book on the device not all of the corresponding database entries are deleted.

Of course, theses entries doesn't hurt, but to keep the database in a clean and consistent state, a database cleanup is performed on every device connect. The corresponding database entries on the device are not deleted when you delete a book on the device, leaving lots of abandoned database entries over time. This is a two-way sync, no matter where you mark a book as read (on the device or in Calibre), the read status is synchronized on both platforms. To synchronize this status with Calibre, create a user defined column of type Yes/No and set its lookup name in the driver settings. The PocketBook supports to mark a book as read. Please let me know if this driver works with your device and I will greatly appreciate to add it to the list of supported devices. I have developed it for my PocketBook Touch HD 3 but it will probably work with other PocketBook devices as well.

This is an improved device driver for PocketBook devices. Calibre Device Driver For PocketBook Devices
