calibre has a Content Server that exports the books in calibre as a web page. You can turn it on under Preferences->Network->Sharing over the net. Then just point the web browser on your device to the computer running the Content Server and you will be able to browse your book collection. For example, if the computer running the server has IP address 63.45.128.5, in the browser, you would type:
http://63.45.128.5:8080
Some devices, like the Kindle (1/2/DX), do not allow you to access port 8080 (the default port on which the content server runs. In that case, change the port in the calibre Preferences to 80. (On some operating systems, you may not be able to run the server on a port number less than 1024 because of security settings. In this case the simplest solution is to adjust your router to forward requests on port 80 to port 8080).
I could not get it to work on my nook but then again I am no rocket scientologist. |
Ok, I tried this and couldn't get it to work either. I am not a computer genius and the whole networking thing is not my cup of tea, so I am not sure what to try. I made sure I had the content server running on Calibre. Then on the web browser on my Nook I typed in my IP addresses, ending it with :8080. And nothing
Anyone have some ideas?
