Calibre Server Management

django · 01-14-2014, 02:29 PM

Hello!

I'm currently working to make a set of books from Gutenberg available to my students through Calibre Server. Everything is set up and they can access the library through a web browser, (only IE9 is available unfortunately). My issue is I need students to be able to either:

A: read epub and mobi files directly through an IE explorer plugin, (not the preferred solution)

B: be able to read with the calibre app, (or another viable one) on their desktops/iPads without having the ability to do anything except download new books from the server and read them.

I hope someone can help with suggestions here!

Thanks,

django

One solution does not fit all

There are applications (some free) for ipad
I use a (EPUB) Plugin for my desktop browser, but it is for Firefox

Do the students (or staff) have permission to install plugins or software?

If it isn't feasible to install Firefox...

Can they run portableapps?
