Thanks for the speedy reply. With your help I was able to make pip work. Unfortunately ZIMply has a dependency which is a Python C module - and that gets stuck in loop when installing since there is no C compiler on the kindle. I have no clue how to solve this problem.

On the forum i found some people on Kobo made kiwix-serve work. (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=276219)

So I tried to make kiwix-serve work on kindle. I downloaded the armel package from Debian backports. I copied all dynamicaly linked libraries but there are still some (cca 25) errors silmilar to this:

Code:

./kiwix-serve: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28` not found (required vz /usr/lib/...)

So the linking was not successful. (My first time anyway...) (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...2-28-not-found)

Surely there must be some way to read a ZIM file on kindle, however I don't know what to try next.
