The idea is to move away from storing books in Google Books and using its e-book reader on mobile and via a browser but still to be able to access my library from anywhere and to have a book’s reading position synchronization ability, as it is in the Google Books mobile and browser readers. kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.I’m using Calibre for my e-books library management for many years, but until today always used its desktop version.Ī couple of days ago I found the Calibre Web project - the same library, working with the same database, but accessible via a browser. Locate and open (for example with Notepad) the configuration file.When the Kobo device is mounted as storage:.Connect the Kobo device to your computer.Turn ON or OFF Sync this shelf with Kobo device.Click on the EDIT SHELF PROPERTIES button.Now edit or create the shelves and make sure that the shelves have been set whether the books should be synchronized with the Kobo device.Click the CREATE/VIEW button and copy the whole line, starting with api_endpoint.Turn ON Sync only books in selected shelves with Kobo.

Now go to your profile (default: admin) by clicking on Account (top right) and your profile name (default: admin).Now open the Settings (top right) and click Edit Basic Configuration, expand Feature Configuration and turn ON Enable Kobo sync and click the Save button.Login to Calibre-web (default: username admin and password admin123).But it does mean that you will lose history once, like where you left off in a book. You can then manage all e-books from Calibre-web. Personally, I’d choose to delete any e-books still on the Kobo before syncing with Calibre-web. So I took most of the steps from that website, but with the addition of how you can only sync e-books from certain shelves so that you can make a choice yourself which e-books you want to have on your Kobo device.Īs soon as you start synchronizing the Kobo device with Calibre-web, the e-books will be added from Calibre-web but existing books remain. This website already described very well how to synchronize. Then it’s very easy to sync e-books between Calibre-web and your Kobo device. In another note I already described how to run Calibre-web with Docker. I use Calibre-web to sync e-books to my Kobo eReader.
