Basically, the auto-update I suggested earlier, but this one is manual.
On that note, if you'd like to try it again, here is an updated upgrade script, and this should download it and install it in the right location:
Code:
sudo wget -O /tmp/calibre.tar.gz https://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=120506&d=1395295772
Code:
sudo tar -xzf /tmp/calibre.tar.gz -C /usr/
Then use this:
Code:
sudo EDITOR="gedit" crontab -e
to edit crontab, and add the at the end:
Code:
0 6 * * 5 /usr/bin/calibre-upgrade.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

It's really something everybody should know. Hey, I may attempt this once I get Calibre! So far I've just removed the old Calibre 1.0 from the Ubuntu Software Center. (That was a task I could handle--'click the 'remove' button.') And do I really need the auto-updater? On my other computer Calibre is always telling me there's a new version available.
And speaking of Calibre. (In the Gregg's Adventures thread). Some comments were made about Amazon not liking files made with Calibre. But that was just with Calibre being used to make the .mobi (or dual .mobi), right? (As opposed to making the mobi via Kindlegen.) I mean, I could use Calibre to convert my .odt to .epub without Amazon complaining, right?
