calibre, ubuntu linux and the blackberry playbook

sailnaked · 03-06-2012, 09:32 PM

I really like my blackberry playbook but it doesn't seem to play nicely with Calibre on Linux Mint 12 or Ubuntu Linux. My Playbook is set up as a network device on Mint and Ubuntu so I can see it just fine in Nautilus. When I try to "Connect/Share" in Calibre it is invisible. I've tried to find it as a folder but it doesn't show up in Calibre's file manager dropdown. Why is that? Any ideas? What is Calibre using to view file folders? Are there plug-in's that could solve this dilemma. I simply must have Calibre working with my Playbook. Please help.

You probably should ask over in the Calibre forum.

To be able to speak to a device Calibre requires that it expose itself as if it were a USB disk. It is highly likely that the Playbook is not doing that.
