There are multiple readers that do most or, at least, of what is required, several of them are commercial.

I didn't mean to play down the effort involved, and I had sort of left the original suggestion of creating one into a general venting. It is obvious from looking through these forums that there would be a great demand for such. GoodReader is great with pdf and has a back door way to connect to Calibre via browser, but I can't get it to work. Stanza which was great with Epub and Pdf stopped working on my Ipad after IoS 5 came out, even after the update which supposedly fixed it. I was using Megareader which also handled Epub and Pdf pretty well, but it's stopped working with Calibre, won't connect, and gives error. I'm currently using ShuBooks, which will connect to Calibre and handles Epub well, and pdf not so well (which I'd prefer to read in GoodReader). All I want is something that will grab books from Calibre/OPDS/Dropbox, handle the 6 or 7 main formats (epub,pdf,mobi,txt,html, lit?), in a uniform, neat process (like Calibre does on the server side). It will certainly be a help, but I still wish there were a fully integrated solution.ĬalibreCompanion and ebook Search recommended seem like fine utilities, but why can't one of these book readers get it right. In calibre, go to Preferences->Plugins->Device Interface plugin and make sure the plugin for your device is enabled, the plugin icon next to it should be green when it is enabled.You might want to try the free eBook Search app for iOS.In calibre, go to Preferences->Ignored Devices and check that your device is not being ignored.On Linux, device might fail to mount if after updating kernel system wasn't rebooted.If you are on Linux and the device is an MTP device, make sure it is not automounted by the OS/file manager as only one program can access an MTP device at a time.That is, the device should be mounted as a disk that you can access using Windows explorer or whatever the file management program on your computer is. Ensure your operating system is seeing the device.The latest version can always be downloaded from the calibre website Make sure you are running the latest version of calibre.Do not have another calibre supported device like an iPhone/iPad etc.
