This is an improved device driver for PocketBook devices. I have developed it for my PocketBook Touch HD 3 but it will probably work with other PocketBook devices as well.
The PocketBook supports to mark a book as read. To synchronize this status with Calibre, create a user defined column of type Yes/No and set its lookup name in the driver settings.
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.
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. 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.
When deleting a book on the device not all of the corresponding database entries are deleted. 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.
This is fixed in this device driver, deleting a book on the device from Calibre cleans up the database.
The PocketBook does not handle the metadata of PDF files correctly, mainly the title and author fields are messed up. This device driver cleans the metadata fields on device connect.
Download the pocketbook632.zip file. Open Calibre, go to Preferences, Advanced, Plugins and choose Load Plugin from file. Choose the pocketbook632.zip file. Restart Calibre.
Set the lookup name of your custom Yes/No column in the plugin's configuration dialog (default is #read)
