Jesus christ dude, how many books do you read?!
It takes me about 30 minutes to find, download, convert to KEPub and load onto my Kobo about 6-12 months worth of books. I curse the day that Brandon Sanderson entered my life. He writes them faster than I have the opportunity to read them.
This is such a fair point. What made me think of it was that I browse story graph, and add lots of books to my recommendations. Then every so often I go through that list, look up a pile of books in mam, download them, import into calibre and then dig out a micro USB to move them over.
There's got to be a better way! Bi-annual pain in the butt is not zero pain in the butt.
Oh I get it. Further complicated by my Kobo only working with one very specific micro-usb cable that looks the same as all the others.
Honestly given the nature of the problem I think it would be better handled by a custom rom for readers, or even just a custom browser that can install from any source.
If you were so inclined you could probably write a script to do this for you using your existing web lists. Getting it as far as your calibre library wouldn't be that hard.
Also when's cremposting coming over? =]
Ohh I had to avoid that sub. Too many spoilers, I started late!
