Calibre on Easy Debian
Hello,
I have installed Easy Debian following the wiki link. Activated the all-repos except the src lines. Did an apt-get update, and then apt-get install calibre. After about 200MB of downloading and an about 30 min installation the package was installed. Now when I try to launch, it spits these errors. Any hope that this could be fixed? Code:
Everything set up, running chroot... |

That is really an incredible app to have. I regret that you can not run it. But reading books on the n900 screen will strain your eyes, the screen is small with high resolution.

Re: Calibre on Easy Debian
Quick question:
Have you actually tried to run Calibre on, say, a 7 inch netbook? Or anything with 800x480 resolution? It's pretty painful. Now add to that pain, running it from an SD card. It'll be VERY slow. And pretty difficult to actually read/interact with the screen due to the program's desktop nature. Why not just keep Calibre on the desktop - where its purpose lives, really - and use FBReader on the Nokia? That's what I do with my N800 and it works well. More power to you for trying to get Calibre to run through Easy Debian, but I really think you'll find it's just not worth it. R. == |
Re: Calibre on Easy Debian
fbreader has not been updated on the N900 in a long while, too bad. A developer from fbreader gave me this link a while ago...I have the stable but the unstable worked too. Nice thing is in these builds the table of contents works in my oreilly technical books. sadly though the volume rocker would not change pages. but you can of course map keys...

Re: Calibre on Easy Debian
isn't calibre mainly an e-book manager. I too would like to get calibre running but only so I can manage my books for transfer to and from my n900 and PRS-600 e-book reader.
