The new calibre native driver

Version 1.7 introduces support for a new, native calibre driver that lets Marvin and calibre communicate directly.

The driver is developed and maintained by Greg Riker. You can get more help and support for the driver here.

Calibre is a free, open source, ebook management and conversion utility created and maintained by Kovid Goyal. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Calibre cannot, on its own, remove DRM from ebooks. However, it is possible to added third-party software (‘plugins’) to enhance calibre. This app allows calibre to connect to your Android device wirelessly, just as though you plugged in the device with a USB cable. You can browse files on the device in calibre and use the Send to device button to transfer files to your device wirelessly. You can also connect to calibre using just Chrome or Firefox on the phone, and manage your collection and even read books in the browser, using the calibre Content. Free 5000+ macOS app icons in the style of macOS Big Sur. Fully open source and community led. How to install custom icons on macOS Big Sur.

Some things you can do:

  • Send any eBook format including mobi, FB2, and txt files to Marvin. calibre will offer to convert your non-EPUB books before sending them to Marvin.
  • Manage collections in Marvin’s library using calibre.
  • Bulk transfer books to Marvin quickly.
  • Synchronize (calibre → Marvin) metadata including covers.
  • Copy books from Marvin to your calibre library.

Requirements

  1. calibre version 0.9.34 or later.
  2. If you have the Apple iDevice interface plugin installed on your system, disable or remove it. This, new, plugin enables access to both iBooks and Marvin through a single unified plugin.
  3. If you are using calibre in a Windows or OS X environment, iTunes must be installed. The driver depends upon software libraries and services installed with iTunes.

Installing the driver

  • In calibre, choose Preferences → Get plugins to enhance calibre…
  • Choose the iOS reader applications plugin (the driver) and install it.
  • Restart calibre.

First-time driver setup

  • In calibre, go to Preferences → Advanced → Plugins, search for iOS reader applications.
  • Click Customize plugin.
  • Select Marvin as your preferred iOS reader (obviously).
  • Click OK, then Apply to exit the plugins section.
  • Exit calibre.

Initial connection

Notes:

Only one iDevice can be connected to your computer while using the driver. If you have multiple iDevices connected, e.g. an iPhone and an iPad simultaneously, the driver will not start.

You can only have one eReader device connected to calibre at a time. Disconnect any other eReader hardware (Kindle, Kobo, Sony…).

While connected to calibre, your iDevice will not sleep. This is to avoid unexpected disconnects.
  • Connect your iPad.
  • Start calibre.
  • Open Marvin on your iPad, then initiate the connection to calibre (from the cloud button in the home or library screen).
  • The calibre connector popup is shown, with a Disconnect button.
  • Calibre should recognize your connected iDevice running Marvin by displaying Marvin’s logo as the Device in calibre’s top menu bar.
  • After calibre’s jobs spinner (lower right corner) stops spinning, click the Marvin device icon in calibre’s top row of icons to see books in Marvin’s library.
  • To disconnect, tap the Disconnect button in the Marvin’s calibre connector popup.

Sending books from calibre to Marvin

  • While connected, switch to calibre’s Library view.
  • Select one or more books from your calibre library, then click Send to device or type the letter D to send the books to Marvin.
  • Books already in the EPUB format will be sent directly. If a book is not available as an EPUB, you will be offered an option to convert it on the fly.
  • The Jobs spinner will spin until Marvin completes the import process.

Deleting books from Marvin

  • While connected, switch to calibre’s Device view.
  • Select one or more books, then click Remove books in the icon bar.

Calibre Ios Reader Applications Plugin

  • The Jobs spinner will spin until Marvin completes deleting the selected books.

Editing collection assignments manually

  • If you have assigned books to collections in Marvin, they will be displayed in calibre’s Device window in the Collections column.
  • You can edit a book’s collection assignments from calibre’s UI by editing the collections in calibre’s Device window.
  • After updating collection assignments for a book, the Jobs spinner will spin until Marvin completes updating the collection assignments.
  • You may also specify a new collection name, adding the book to a new collection in Marvin.
  • Collections are comma-separated. If you specify more than one collection, separate them with a comma. Collection names may not have commas in them.

Note:

The driver allows you to use special collections called NEW, READ and READING LIST. Setting these values as collection names in calibre will cause the new flag (red), read flag (blue) and reading list flag (green) to be set in Marvin.

Replacing books and updating metadata

In the plugin’s configuration window, you have 3 options to choose from when sending books from calibre that already exist in Marvin:

  1. Do nothing - the driver will skip books that already exist in Marvin. This is the default setting.
  2. Replace - this will overwrite books that exist in Marvin. All your highlights, notes, Deep View, etc… will be overwritten (lost) too.
  3. Update metadata - the metadata of the books (including covers) that exist in Marvin will be refreshed. Specifically, any differences between Marvin’s metadata and calibre’s metadata will cause the driver to update Marvin’s metadata to match calibre’s metadata. The following fields are refreshed:
  • Book title.
  • Title sort.
  • Author.
  • Author sort.
  • Publisher.
  • Date published.
  • Series, number.
  • Subjects/tags.
  • Collection assignments.
  • Cover image.

Creating a custom column for collections assignment (this is an advanced option)

In the driver’s Configuration dialog, you may specify none, one or several custom columns as sources for collection assignments.

To create a custom column source for collections:

  • Preferences → Interface → Add your own columns.
  • Add custom column.
  • Lookup name: collections
  • Column Heading: Marvin collection assignments
  • Column type: Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the browser (this is an example, you may also use one of the other supported column types).
  • Add the custom column and restart calibre.
  • Now you’ll notice that there’s the column in your calibre library:
  • Now it’s time to tell the driver to use that new column for collection assignments. Initiate the calibre connection in Marvin.
  • Click the down arrow next to the Marvin icon in the calibre UI.
  • Click Configure this device.
  • Select the Marvin Options tab.
  • In the Collections group box, enable Marvin collection assignments.
  • You don’t need to restart calibre after making this change, so just click OK.
  • In the Collections column for the book you want to add to Marvin, add the collection assignments, separated by commas.
  • Send the book to Marvin.
  • After the Jobs spinner stops, exit calibre connection mode in Marvin.

Custom column types:

There are three types of custom columns supported that can contain collection information:

  1. Comma-separated text, like tags, shown in the browser.
  2. Text, column shown in the tag browser.
  3. Text, but with a fixed set of permitted values.

Help and support

Help and support for the driver is provided at the driver’s thread on Mobileread.

About calibre

Calibre is a free, open source, ebook management and conversion utility created and maintained by Kovid Goyal. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Calibre For IosCalibre

Calibre cannot, on its own, remove DRM from ebooks. However, it is possible to added third-party software (‘plugins’) to enhance calibre.

To be able to use the DeDRM plugin for calibre, it is necessary to install calibre first. The latest version can be downloaded from http://calibre-ebook.com/download.

The DeDRM plugin for calibre

Calibre For Ios

The DRM removal plugin (DeDRM_plugin.zip) can be found in the tools archive linked from the most recent post in this blog. The DeDRM plugin can remove DRM from Kindle eBooks (but not rented Kindle ebooks, books downloaded to a Kindle Fire, Kindle for iOS or the Windows Store Kindle App), Barnes & Noble ePub ebooks (but not books downloaded to the Windows Store Nook App) , any ebooks using Adobe Digital Editions DRM (this includes ePubs from Kobo and Sony that are downloaded for Adobe Digital Editions), and the older Mobipocket and eReader ebooks. For other kinds of ebooks see the other posts in this blog.

Calibre Iphone App

Installing the DeDRM plugin for calibre

  1. Download the latest tools package, and unzip it.
    (On Windows, right-click and “Extract All…”; After extracting all, rename the tools_vX.X.X.zip file to tools_zipped_vX.X.X.zip to prevent later confusion)
  2. Run calibre. From the Preferences menu select “Change calibre behavior”.
    (Do not click “Get plugins to enhance calibre”, that option is reserved for ‘official’ calibre plugins.)
  3. Click on Plugins (under “Advanced”) — it looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
  4. Click on the large “Load plugin from file” button
  5. Navigate to the tools folder unzipped in step 2
  6. Open the “DeDRM_calibre_plugin” folder
  7. Select the DeDRM_plugin.zip file in that folder
  8. Click on the “Add” (sometimes “Open”) button.
  9. Click on the “Yes” button in the “Are you sure?” warning dialog that appears. A “Success” dialog will appear, saying that the plug-in has been installed. Click on “OK”.

Customising the plugin with encryption keys

Calibre Ipad Transfer Books

On Macintosh and Windows systems no customisation is required for ebooks from Kindle for Mac/PC, Nook Study, or Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), provided that calibre is run on the same computer and user account as the installation of Kindle for Mac/PC, Nook Study, or ADE to which the books were downloaded. The default key is found and stored in the preferences automatically. Anyone using Linux should read the ReadMe file for details of how to obtain the keys manually.

For other sources of ebooks, or on Linux systems, you must configure the plugin. To configure the plugin, you must find it in the list of plugins. Usually calibre will have automatically selected the DeDRM plugin after you add it. If not, the DeDRM plugin can be found under “File Type plugins”. It might easier to find if you check the “Show only user installed plugins” checkbox. You might need to click on the triangle next to the “File Type plugins” label to show the list of File Type plugins.

If it’s not already selected, click on the DeDRM plugin in the list to select it, and then click on the Customize plugin button. This will open that main “Customise DeDRM” dialog which contains a set of buttons describing different type and sources of ebooks. If you have DRMed ebooks that match the description on any of the buttons, you will need to click on the button and enter the required information in the sub-dialog that will pop up.

All the dialogs have a help link in the top right of the dialog, that gives further information about the required information.

When all the configuration for your DRMed ebooks has been entered, click “OK” in the main dialog to save all the information you’ve entered. You’re now ready to remove the DRM from your ebooks.

Using the DeDRM calibre plugin

The DeDRM calibre plugin removes DRM from ebooks as they are imported into calibre. So to use the plugin, just import your DRMed ebooks into calibre, and the DRM will be removed. If you have already imported your ebooks into calibre, you will need to remove the DRMed ebooks and import them again.

You can check that the DRM has been removed from an imported ebook by trying to view it using calibre’s built-in viewer. Note that for .azw3 Kindle ebooks you might need to check a checkbox in calibre’s preferences to say that .azw3 ebooks should be viewed using calibre’s internal viewer.

If things go wrong

The calibre developers are not involved in the development of the DRM removal plugin, and are not able to help with any DRM removal questions. If you have any difficulties following the instructions in this post, the calibre developers will not be able to help.
