Bug Description

I used to be able to connect through the wireless device connection from Calibre to Calibre Companion but this always required reconnection during book downloads. I tried loading Calibre Sync on my iPad and it lists all the books but gives no way to add them to iReader on the iPad.

I cannot connect through the normal wireless device connection and cannot figure out why.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Companion and the Calibre is the latest version.

Are there any easy ways to send books from Calibre to my iPad?!?

I tried selecting the device output to iPad and of course this did not work.
Below is the connection report:

Hello,

So, you're telling me the device output is only for USB connections.
This is fine, I have never been able to get this to work anyway.

However, in the past, I have used the Wireless connection with Calibre and
Calibre Sync.
As detailed in the previous email.

This does not work anymore for me.
*Are you able to assist in troubleshooting this issue?*

I have reviewed Calibre's Help menu and could not get any of the normal
methods to work.

*This includes manually entering the ISP and the port # in Calibre sync.*

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Eric Bischoff
