Hi,
Just got my PRS-505 today and Calibre looks just the ticket!

Unfortunately when I try to convert a CBR file I get the error:
('OSError', u'libunrar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory')
Traceback (most recent call last):

Which, I assume, means I need libunrar.so. I've hunted everywhere and can't find it anywhere. It's not in the repo's so I'm at a loss... :smack:

Any help is most appreciated on this one... it's driving me crazy! :help:

You can get libunrar.so from the binary calibre package. Just untar it an extract libunrar.so

Excellent, thanks, I'll give that a try.

But where should I put the libunrar.so file?

In any place that is searched by default for libraries on yur system

/usr/local/lib or /usr/lib for example

Many thanks for that tip, worked like a charm.
