Using Calibre on Windows and Linux
Hi,
I have a few ebooks (mostly in pdf format). I want to have these ebooks on a USB thumb drive to carry around. My problem is that I use windows at home and Linux at work and also have a mac laptop. Is there some simple recipe to be able to read the books on all three Os'es. I do not want to go the web route because I will have setup a static IP for that. Could I install calibre in different folders on the USB (for win, linux and OSX) and then use these installations to refer to the same database? I am aware of a portable version but I suspect that it will work only on windows machines... A detailed recipe would be helpful. Thanks in Advance! |

For pdf documents I'd say keep it simple: install a pdf-reader on all platforms. Optionally put a 'portable installation' on your usb-disk, for example using 'portable apps' (http://portableapps.com/) for the msWindows pc's.
I donnot expect calibre works the way you want it. |
