I found out Kovid dropped support for the old PRS-500 a few years ago. It took me a *long* time to get the old version of Calibre running. And that was not after 150 years, but after two.
Calibre has many, many dependencies. Just have a look at dependencies here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux |
I can hear dropping support for a no-longer-made device a lot more than a format. Devices wear out, files don't.
Any old version should still work out-of-the-box, as it is distributed as a standalone binary with bundled dependencies??? The only outside dependency is glibc >= 2.10
In 150 years, I could hear that no current binaries would run outside emulators -- who knows what the world may look like then
. But I see you got it working anyway
which goes to prove my point.
Shouldn't you be able to connect to folder anyway, though?
