Calibre now includes MS LIT converter: lit2lrf - Page 19

Cthulhu · 02-23-2008, 06:45 PM

Kovid:

Looking over some of the posts for LIBPRS, realised that I have a very early version of the software. Is there any auto-update function that I should enable, or am I simply lazy for not watching for updates posted here at Mobile Read?

@ anyone: Will downloading the program from libprs.net override my older version?

kovidgoyal · 02-23-2008, 06:48 PM

Newer version of the software notify you when there is an upgrade available. And yes installing a new version should overwrite the old.

Cthulhu · 02-23-2008, 06:50 PM

thanks Kovid. Am off to update my version. ;-)

I'm having problems with the lit to lrf conversion, so far none of the lit files I've tried have converted.

First upgrade to the latest version of libprs500. If it still doesn't work send me the lit file.

OUTATIME · 02-25-2008, 12:27 PM

Thank you Sir, much appreciated.

And thank you again for the wonderful program; it was the deciding factor when it came to buying the Sony Reader. Without Libprs it wouldn't be used half as much.

OUTATIME · 02-25-2008, 02:12 PM

This is the most recent file I tried; but I have had pretty much the same experience with all of them.

kovidgoyal · 02-25-2008, 02:36 PM

This bug will be fixed in the next release.

OUTATIME · 02-25-2008, 03:51 PM

Good man, cheers.

joeanne12 · 02-27-2008, 10:03 AM

What sort of problems are you having? If you describe in more detail just what is and is not working and what it is you are trying to do, someone may be able to help.

You need to move up a level to the list of threads in a forum, then the button up on the left ("New reply" in a thread) becomes "New thread".

joeanne12 · 02-28-2008, 08:06 PM

when converting my lit files I am getting either double spacing, or one full page and then one half page through the whole book or one or two words on every second line! some have converted fine so I dont know if I have to change setting for particular books.
Thanks so much for your help

JSWolf · 02-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Are these purchased LIT or from another source?

joeanne12 · 02-28-2008, 11:42 PM

Both, when I open them in Microsoft reader they are fine. Also I quit often get a OPF file the first time I convert instead of a BBeB book file. If I redo the convert it is usually fine.
I have version 0.4.38 is this the latest version? Thanks again for the help
