Swiss eBook retailer in Calibre

ePb · 09-10-2018, 12:38 PM

Hello

I just wanted to ask if there is a way to include at least one Swiss eBook retailer in Calibre? For example OrellFüssli? It would be a great help to me.

Hope for a positive answer. :-)

Thanks ePb

Get Books plugins are very simple just look at a few existing ones to get the idea (look in the src/calibre/gui2/store/stores subdirectory in the calibre source code). While you could make a standalone plugin, it is probably easier to just run calibre from source as described here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.htmland add your plugin to it. Once you are happy with it, you can submit it for inclusion into calibre.

Sorry, although I found the eBook Store plugins in a ZipFile, I cannot read it. So I can't create and adapt my own plugins. That is too high for me. Very pity!
