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. |
You are right and I don't like that version of the server I get but as there is no other option, other than getting involved in technicalities that are in a language I don't understand, it seems like far too much bother. And as the Glo is now on the back burner, and the (not) new Aura still works over USB, I'll stick with that option for now. I certainly would not want to roll back to an older version of Calibre either.
Maybe I'll just prioritise getting the Poke 2 sooner rather than later...
