Kobo - Show books in subfolders

Dirk-71 · 12-21-2022, 07:38 PM

I use the Cloud-Extension for Kobo, so I can send books to my Kobo Reader by loading them into Google Drive.

The books are stored in the folder .add/kobocloud/Library. Can I tell Calibre that it has to check this folder on the device to find these books and indicate them as ON THE DEVICE? If not, is there a plugin to do so?

As far as I know, the answers to your questions are no and no. As for a plugin, those tend to be written by someone who wants to solve a problem or add a capability.

I don't think so. Directories starting with a '.' are 'hidden' in Unix/Linux, and I think the Kobo firmware does not scan such directories for books on import.
