Calibre: How to Share Your Library

[@witeaynjil]

Thanks Blue! I have been using Calibre for over a year and didn't know this was in there.

You help me a lot, thank you very much!

I keep my main book folder on the PC in google backup and sync so no matter where I am I can use them on all my devices

[@Sacawattanea]

I tried to email my ebook but it just kept saying Failed. How do I fix this? The other option is not working on my sisters phone.

[@lindabaird100]

I have done this, but it won't let me email it. What might I be doing wrong?

[@richardleslie410]

Over two or three years I have tried to emulate this process probable 50 times. . the Email method always says failed to send and the Server won't work either. I really wish I could use these functions. It seams that the ports are vital to have correct with your email program, .permissions and access your firewall and a hundred other settings. . all the info on the net seems everyone else has the same problem. it just doesn't work.

How to export highlights from kobo/kindle to my laptop so I can read them later or even print them out?

[@tbelajonas]

On the road I can’t just connect to the internal network? I feel like you are missing some steps.

I would like to know if someone has tried to see the books from a smartv or with any application that has the smartv.

Good methods. But i want calible on my PC and my LapTop, but I acutally don't know how to connect them to each other, so I see the same stuff (on PC and LapTop). Pretty anoying atm.^^

[@Duesi2024]

Found the solution. I put my library into an online cloud. Both computer taking theses information and are similar. :)

The server gets closed once u close it

[@vidneypopples]

You missed out a bunch of stuff. You only show how to access calibre on your lan! Try using 192.168.1.136:8080 when you're away from home. I don't think it'll work too well!!!

[@JaceLansing]

For those looking to do this. You need to set up port forwarding in your router. I set the listening port to 8083 instead of 8080 to avoid conflicts with other apps. I then set my router's port forwarding to point to the IP address of the computer that is hosting the server. In the example of her video, that would be 192.168.1.136.I told it to point for both UDP and TCP because I'm assuming this app uses both. Now you just need to make sure that you're pointing to your public IP address. The tricky part about this is that the public IP for your location can be changed by your ISP and they won't notify you. Go to a site like noip.com and make a free account. Make a domain like mycalibre.hopto.org (Or whatever you want to name it). Run the no-ip client on the computer that is running your Calibre server and sign into your no-ip account. Tell it to load when you start Windows. Make sure that you click the "Edit hosts" option in the app and check the mark next to the domain you are using. This application checks for your public IP and updates the domain that you picked on the site. So we have the following: #1 Calibre has a server running and is told to listen on port 8083 #2 your router is doing a port forward for 8083 to the IP address of the computer hosting the server #3 you have no-ip running and updating your domain with your current public IP address. GREAT! Now just go to your tablet and point your application to mycalibre.hopto.org (Replace this with whatever you actually set as your host/domain name) and port 8083. It should connect to your server and you should see all your books! :D This is a lot easier than it sounds. lol But I wanted to spell everything out. Let me know if you have any questions.
