davidfor: I was considering buying a Kobo H2O, but I first wanted to be sure that Calibre on my XP would work with it.
If it is to be the other way round (first buy it and then ask you to help make it work on Calibre), that's fine as well.
If I can help you, I am willing to do it. Actually, what is to be done? Recompile the whole Calibre 1.48 or just build the driver and add it to the existing compiled 1.48?
eschwartz: the reasons why I am not upgrading Windows are the hardware limitations and the compatibility with an older software that won't run on Vista and newer.
I would be more open to use Linux. The only problem is that it would complicate my IT life at home. I have tested it in these days on a dual boot from a secondary drive: Linux works like a charm, however making Calibre connect to the library on my NAS via Windows/Samba/CIFS share is already proving not so simple, as I need to tweak things so that the share is mounted, with the right permissions and so on... (*)
On the other hand my XP setup is already done and it is doing its job just fine.
(*) I'd rather relax and read an e-book, don't you think? :-)
