Description

I would love it if I could set the default location of books on my android device. That way I don't have to use the default reader (I prefer fbreader considerably more).

Change History

I vote for this too. Calibre currently places files in /wordplayer/calibreimport. This is for the Word Player app. However, there are other locations:

/eBooks/import (used by Aldiko, my preferred reader) /Books (used by FBReader)

It would be nice to have a simple string path setting preference in the Android plugin.

I would like it to, but for now you can edit /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/devices/android/driver.py (in Linux) and change line

EBOOK_DIR_MAIN = 'wordplayer/calibreimport'

to

EBOOK_DIR_MAIN = 'eBooks/import'

or

EBOOK_DIR_MAIN = 'Books'

or whatever you want :)
