I take it I follow the link here https://github.com/seblucas/cops/releases and Dl to my laptop, then send the file via USB to my Aura... but there is nothing showing me how to do all this and end up with this what is shown here http://cops-demo.slucas.fr/index.php.
Also run an older version of Calibre content server (command line/terminal) in read-only mode? is again like a foreign language to me. |
Alas, it is pretty technical.
No, you don't copy the download to Aura via USB. You'd need to setup your own web and PHP server on your laptop and extract and run COPS from your laptop (as an alternative to the Calibre Content Server).
XAMPP's probably one of the easiest way to do that.

There should be instructions on the COPS website or a readme file in the download. It's been a long, lomg time since I last setup something like that so can't really help you there.
Older versions of Calibre didn't use Javascript for the content server so they'll probably play nicer with web browsers on e-ink. Don't know how old you need to go or if the current command line options found in the online Calibre manual are the same.
