Kindle touch ebook converter?
I am only posting this because i'm not good at java
 I used the hackedupreader extension and figured it could also be used to run a cross-compiled version of ebook-convert from calibre to convert the epubs to mobi. Could anyone write an extension for that please? Last edited by aditya3098; 03-25-2012 at 12:59 AM. Reason: Typo |

1. This has nothing to do with Java.
2. How about trying to do it yourself? |

Ah, you mean the launcher part. Now that's really, really straightforward to write.
Take a look at the Enterprise WPA extension (the source code is attached there) for a very simple working example. It's 2 classes with a total of less than 100 lines of code, including all application logic. |

But I need something that:
adds a menu item for every epub change the last four charecters from epub to mobi and run the executable ( ebook-convert xxx.epub xxx.mobi It is the last four charecter part that I find tough. |

Geez, did you even bother to look at the sample code I suggested? It contains exactly this use case (line 45 in WPAMenu.java). And there is also the use case of running an external command in WPAAction.java.
Java is very to easy to understand once you got the fundamental concept of object-oriented programming. And the documentation is excellent. For example: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/...ng/String.html Last edited by ixtab; 03-25-2012 at 03:51 PM. |

in the implimentation part of the readme
UPDATE: I copied the KindleLauncher.jar, and it gave me some error that contained the word reader and sdk. So I fixed it by coping ReaderSDK(-impl).jar Last edited by aditya3098; 03-27-2012 at 03:03 AM. |
