Convert LRF to HTML

ggbal · 08-07-2008, 03:35 AM

FAQ says that Calibre can convert LRF to HTML. But I can not figure out how to do that. Whenever I click "convert" button for a lrf book, it says that "Cannot convert <book name> as this book has no supported formats". How do I convert the lrf book to html?

Thanks,

GG

Is this feature in your plan for next several releases? I can't find the alternative out there to do LRF to html or other rich document format, such as doc, rtf, pdf, and chm. The only thing out there is the ABC Amber Sony Converter. But the output it produces does not contain any images in the original lrf. Do you know any tool (commercial and freeware) can do this?

Thanks,

GG

Its not hard to do. Calibre already contains lrf2lrs which produces XML. From there its just a matter of writing a stylesheet to convert the XML to html. However, I dont plan on doing this anytime soon (too many other, more important features).

Is it possible to set the Cybook as the default device in Calibre? How, please?

calibre doesn't have any specific support for the cybook, but since it is connected as a mass storage device, you can just use the save to disk function to send books to it.
