Cybook support in calibre

kovidgoyal · 01-06-2009, 01:48 PM

Hi all,

calibre recently got a new cybook driver (thanks to John Schember) that has been tested on linux. The windows version needs testing. So if you would like to use calibre with your cybook, please test.

Just download and install calibre. Start it up and plug in your cybook. Hopefully calibre will detect it and give you a list of books on the cybook.

not working for me. i tried first launching calibre, then plug in cybook, and also launch calibre with cybook already plugged in. calibre doesn't see it. i'm using 0.4.126 ; i think this is the latest one.

I'm guessing you're on windows?

Installed Calibre (I'm using XP) but the Cybook isn't recognised.

zelda_pinwheel · 01-06-2009, 03:12 PM

yes, isn't that the version you wanted to test ? (XP Pro SP2)

If someone will send me a CyBook I will test it with a Mac.

Yes, because we all know that crowd mentality is infallible.

Didn't your mom always tell you "I don't care what every one else is doing."

BTW: Yes, you're probably right in this case though.

OK I've notified John (the developer of the driver), hopefully he'll chime in with what to do next

Nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with Calibre 0.4.126 and a Cybook with 1.2 build 796 firmware.

The OSX support hasn't been added as yet.

Can somebody with windows and OS X run the following code in a terminal, with the cyboook connected and without the cybook connected:

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
