Frequently asked questions

To connect to a Calibre content server, open the side menu (drag from the left side of the screen, or tap the hamburger button in the upper left corner), and enter the Book sources page.

Inside the Book sources page, tap the Add button in the top right corner to add a new book source. In the popup that appears, pick 'Calibre content server', then enter the address of the server (usually a local IP address, but any valid address will work), the content server port, and optionally the wireless device port (only used if you want to connect to Calibre as a wireless device). If you have it enabled in Calibre, you can also tap the auto detect button to automatically detect the address and ports of your Calibre server.

Once the connection details are entered, tap 'Ok', and the app will attempt to connect to the content server. If your server is configured to use username and password, you will get a prompt for entering this information as well. If your server has multiple libraries, you need to pick which library to connect to (and if you want to connect to more of them, just add more book sources).

After this, the Calibre content server will automatically open, and let your browse and download books.
