FAQ

Why isn't my library showing up in the library picker?

CalibreBox searches your Dropbox account for any files matching the Calibre library database filename. If your library does not show up in the library picker this is most probably due to the library not having been synchronised completely with your Dropbox or processed by the search feature. You just need to wait for the synchronisation to complete and wait for a short time after that for it to show up in the library picker.

Why are my new books not visible in the App?

When ypu add new books to your library and the library has been synchronised to Dropbox the app will show you a warning that the library copy on your mobile device is no longer up to date.

Why does CalibreBox fail to download my books?
