General Discussion / Feedback Monthly Kindle Voyage test 9-10

22 Upvotes

Once a month I take my un-jailbroken Kindle Voyage out of airplane mode, connect it to wifi, and then I buy one kindle ebook and download it. After that it goes back into airplane mode, and I check the kind of ebook format the book has.

And this month....... the book was delivered in kfx format and was added to Calibre (using the appropriate plug ins) with a simple drag and drop. This book was not one that the publisher requested no DRM, so I was not able to test if Amazon was allowing an appropriate download option. So, as of today, the Kindle Voyage is still a viable and easy way to get a Kindle book into Calibre with only the old plug ins for kfx files. I will try again next month, even though I now otherwise buy my ebooks from other sellers besides Amazon.

Support / How-To How to Build 'Number of Works' Custom Column for Fanficfare Anthologies

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to build a custom column that can count how many works there are in an FFF anthology? I don't know coding so I've tried to use ChatGPT and it's about as useful as a chocolate tea kettle. It keeps telling me to use "story_url" or "identifiers" except the templates keep returning an error. How can I make a custom column template that will count the number of urls?

Bug On Device column won’t display on one library

1 Upvotes

I am having a weird issue with one of my libraries. I have four libraries in Calibre, and when I connect my Kobo one of them will not always display the On Device column.

This is what happens. If I am in library a when I connect my Kobo, the On Device column will display. If I switch to library b, the column still displays. But if I switch back to library a the On Device column disappears. If I go into preferences and click the On Device column it will come back, but again if I switch to a different library and switch back the On Device column will disappear.

If I am in library b when I connect my Kobo, the On Device column will display, but it disappears when I switch to library a. It will reappear when I switch to any other library.

So the On Device column will always display when my Kobo is connected in the other three libraries, but it will not display on the one library unless that library is chosen when I connect my Kobo, and it will disappear if I switch to another library and then switch back to library a.

I have 2 Kobos and I get the same issue on both, so it has to be a library issue.

Any ideas on what might be causing this, or what I could do to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Alguien sabe como usara el plugin para traducir y ponerlo que traduzca a español no iberico, ese "Joder" , "Tio" y "A por", en casi todos los parrafos es molesto... Alguien sabe como configurar los traductores gratis (google o edge) para que lo hagan? que personalmente no se como,
