Calibre and Android Device
Is there a version of calibre (expecially the RSS to Epub funcion), suitable on Android Smarthpone?
With this function could be possible to generate epub files in mobility (and everywhere) using free WiFi hotspots all over the WORLD... (for example PARIS.. in every place ) |

Isn't there RSS software available for Andriod? For sites that don't have RSS feed you could create a Yahoo pipe that screen scrapes the web site and publishes it as an RSS feed. BOb |

I suppose we didn't really answer his question, and that answer is: No, there isn't any official way to run Calibre directly on the Android. |

The link http://www.feedbooks.com/feed/25.epub will give you the RSS feed for Engadget and I am pretty sure the link remains the same day after day with only the content changing. There is also a part where you can make your own feeds and maybe the download links will remain the same.. |

Calibre can also sent an e-mail for every generated epub; it is enough to schedule all every necessary epub conversion and to parameter an e-mail address where sent every epub generated. but it isn't the best solution... |

A little different twist but kind of the same question.
I have a toughbook laptop that is running Ubuntu 9.10 solely. I have Calibre installed and would like to use Overdrive to access "free" ebook downloads from my library, but there is no direct linux software. If I install Android emulator on the laptop. http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...u-115152.shtml And . . . Load the OverDrive version for Android through the emulator http://www.overdrive.com/software/omc/ Will I be able to download books through all this and into Calibre, then on to my Sony505? Complete noob to everything listed above, just trying to get the most out of ebooks and a library card. Thanks, Chris |

This soution (like yours solution) has one great problem: the home pc must be on line, and the calibre program must be active. Every accidental crash of the software, or every loss of energy (for example) create a black out. If you are not at home and you are not able to reestablish the correct functionality of all the system... And so, if the calibre (or simply the ebook-converter) can run on a mobile device (like a smarhphone) you can create your epub (from recipe) every where and everytime... |
