How do I do create a directory on a PRS-500?

JSWolf · 11-23-2009, 04:22 PM

Using Calibre, I'm wondering how I can create a directory on a PRS-500. I want to create a directory in the root of the 500 called fonts and then load the fonts I want there.

Also, how would I remove it all if I wanted to?

Calibre does not have the level of font support you are asking for. (Although it would be really cool and fairly easy to add.) You will have to create the directory yourself (in whatever file manager you use) and copy the fonts by hand.

Sidenote: the most frustrating aspect of current eBook devices is how little effort would be required to make the reading experience significantly better.

ebook-device mkdir /Data/fonts

Thanks. Then how do I populate said directory?

ebook-device cp sourcefile prs500:/Data/fonts/destfile

Thank you very much. I'm not sure if I'll need to use ebook-device or not. But at least I'll be able to if I need it.
