Used Calibre. Now What?

Ireadfreely · 10-31-2008, 11:07 PM

I used mobidedrm and I was successful. I have a drm free prc which I just converted with calibre. I have two files now. A LRF and a PRC.

What do I do now in order to get it onto my iphone.

you need to convert to epub. click the hammer next to the search bar and set output format to epub. once you have an epub feel you can send it to your iphone in may ways, hopefully someone with an iphone will chime in

If you download Stanza for your iPhone from the App Store and Stanza for your PC (free beta) from lexcycle.com. Open the PRC in stanza on your PC... then go into the Stanza library on your iPhone and you should see a d/l link (i foget exactally what it looks like) it will show the name of your PC. One your PC you will see a request to authorzie the iPhone. Once you have oked the iPhone to access your desktop the iPhone will list all the ebooks that you have open in Stanza. Just select one and click download.

If you have access to a web server you can access your calibre library using a perl or python script available in one of the sticky posts in this forum. If not you can wait for the next version of calibre to be released which will be able to serve a stanza feed right from the machine its running on. Check the sticky for more details.

Stanza does not support images.

What can I do now? Can I convert the epub to a PDF?

Are the pics that important? What type of book is this?

You don't want PDF. Trust me on this. Another option is to convert it into an eReader format eBook and get the eReader app. That or you can put it up as HTML on somne site and browse to it to get the images.

pictures are very important. It is a workout book. Paid 35$ for it too.

You could take the DRM free PRC and convert it to HTML using mobi2oeb and then into ePub using html2epub and using Stanza on the iPhone read it.
