Hi everyone,

I'm writing from the NLA:

http://www.nla.gov.au

We have a need for just the viewer component of Calibre (ebook-viewer.exe) for in-house viewing of works that are under various restrictions. I'd like to disable all and any export/saving functions, but I can't find a way in the tweaks to do this.

I grabbed a copy of the source (ever optimistic) and ran through the instructions here:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=251201

... only to find that "You cannot build the Calibre project you have just created".

So before I create a linux dev environment, is there an easier way to completely disable the export functions of the viewer? Ideally any export/save/upload/convert icons and options should be removed. Failing this, can anyone suggest an alternative viewer to Calibre for ebub and mobi formats?

Thanks in advance,

NLA-IT
