Has anybody managed to get the Plucker eBook Reader working on a retail 770? I've installed the app but when I launch the program it displays that is loading for about 5-10 seconds and then stops and looks as if its quit and was never launched.

I used the installer from here (the deb package).

To answer my own question I was missing a required dependancy libsqlite0_2.8.13-2_arm.deb

I installed that and now it launches.

Hope you let us know your experiences using Plucker.

Using the 770 as an e-book reader will be one of my primary uses.

I got Plucker to launch but when I try to open an ebook I downloaded from Project Gutenberg (A straight text file) it just doesn't do anything.

Has anyone managed to get it to work? I had the initial problem of it not launching (Which adding the above libary fixed) but now it runs but won't add ebooks to the library.

I think it's a bug. After adding a channel, the application needs to be restarted to get it listed.

Nope. Still nothing.

Not having a 770, I can't answer your question in the affirmative.

But I have used the Plucker Viewer in Maemo, and written a tutorial on how to use Plucker in this environment which can be found at http://topicalweb.com/making-ebooks/

Operation on the 770 should be identical to that in Maemo (I mean, that's the point of Maemo).

Hope that helps.

I'd read that before I started. Everything works up to selecting a book to add to the library. Then when you drop back to the main screen it's not there.

I had this problem when I was starting out. In the tutorial it says:
  • In order for Plucker Viewer to add a book to its library database, the .pdb file needs to be in the MyDocs folder (or a subfolder, such as eBooks)
  • In the development environment the path to this folder is:
    Kanotix/scratchbox/users/knoppix/home/knoppix/MyDocs

The Kernel Concepts guys straightened me out on this, and when I created the right folder everything was smooth. What folder are you putting the books in?
