How it Works

Calibre plugin will create a @CALIBRE.Container.md file in your vault root when you click Calibre ribbon icon or change the server address in plugin settings. So, it is important to note that you cannot create a file with the same name (case insensitive). If you do, the plugin will not work properly.

@CALIBRE.Container.md is hidden by CSS rules in File explorer. @CALIBRE.Container.md file contains an iframe to connect to the content server. You can change the server address in plugin settings.
