LRF output - Page 55

old soldier · 04-03-2009, 12:56 PM

I don't like Word too much, but I just have a lot of books in PDF format. Now I'm clear, that was a mistake, but I do it in the early steps in my relationship with E-books, and at that time I knew nothing about Calibre. My Reader knew nothing about Cyrillic till now, so that I can't read TXT files in any coding. Some days, a lot of megabytes internet traffic. Help me to resolve this problem, if possible. If not, I understand, of course, that PRS-505 permit the handling and reading PDF, but too slow and without important features.

Kovid! Your program, in my poor opinion, more useful, intuitive and bug free software. I have a big pleasure to work with it, when I became clear in their features due to this kind of forum. Last evening I has resolved some of my problems with PRS 505. I bring you a big pardon, but I haven't any posibilities to donate your work. Many thanks. Best regards.

No worries - I've not come across the DRM issue, so can't directly help, but the best way I've currently found to convert PDF to Sony is to use Mobipocket Reader to create a PRC file (which is just a drop & click operation), then drop that file into Calibre & use Calibre to convert it to LRF or EPUB, so maybe give that a go?

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll try to perform it, not now due to I'm at work today. I hope, this is usefull way. I guess too, that it possible use some converter (without DRM monitoring) between PDF and Calibre conversion. Please, understand me - I'm not a pirate, I'm only want to read on my Sony reader e-books, that have got from legal sources in cyrillic, with minimum dificultes. Cyrillic coding is not native for E-book Library from Sony and a lot of another software, including honoureable Calibre. Due to this fact *TXT files was fully unreadable, in any possible coding, in my PRS 505, no matter I convert them in Calibre or Sony software, or without coversion at all. Unfortunately, I don't knew English so well to reading art literature; technical issues only.

Many thanks. I have resolved this problem with DRM in PDF files, that appear from nowhere during conversion legal *TXT into LRF.
My way: open TXT from OpenOffice Writer(3.0), save TXT as PDF, and than convert and send to PRS 505 via Calibre, and whatever messages about DRM not appeared! Text on reader in LRF became more readable than in PDF format (aligned to page width, more quikly handling with reader, etc.).
It may be effective for cyrillic languages users, possible for others.
I have a some doubt, what can I doing with existing PDF in my library, may be another way I found.

For existing PDF, try
PDF -> MobiPocket Creator -> PRC -> Calibre

For TXT, better than going via PDF, try
a) TXT -> TXT with Markdown syntax -> Calibre
b) TXT -> HTML -> Calibre
c) TXT -> RTF -> Calibre

[edit]Corrected "MobiPocket Reader" to "MobiPocket Creator"

JSWolf · 04-05-2009, 09:02 AM

For PDF...

PDF > Recycle Bin > empty Recycle Bin

Many thanks for your attention and understanding for me, for old wild soldier!
I have downloaded, unzipped and read "Readme Me" file from "Markdown syntax". What I could understand, this software required for this work on my PC some additional soft. I has listen somethig about Perl, but I'm not a programmer, I'm only DSNG engineer. Due to this circumstances, it's too difficult for me, install third party, never before used me software, and integrate to this Markdown. I'm so sorry.

P.S. What about PDF - (PDF<Recycle bin<empty Recycle bin) - absolutely right action! Fully agree.

No, the needed software is already part of Calibre! Try adding the TXT below to Calibre, converting then seeing the output (should be as the LRF below)

Wondering! I have performed recommended actions - download and converting both files. But I couldn't understand (exuse me), how I can integrate downloaded "Markdown*PL" file into Calibre, or they can work separately, as standalone program, and I can process the TXT files before this conversion in Calibre?

gwynevans · 04-06-2009, 10:07 AM

Calibre assumes that any TXT files it is given is in Markdown syntax and knows how to process it without anything more needing to be done. With the uploads, the LRF file was created by loading the TXT file into Calibre & converting it to LRF.

The thought was that your input text files might be easy to have added the markdown syntax, using a text editor, which would then load directly into calibre & when converted, give books with chapters, etc.

Excuse me twice, no - a lot of times! Please explain to me, respected Gwynevans, how Markdown syntax worked: I have to leave them in folder in which dowloaded and unzipped, or copy them into some appointed directory in PC? What a text editor I have to use?

old soldier · 04-06-2009, 11:17 AM

Respected gwynevans! I have got TXT file from library, then load them into Calibre, convert it in LRF and upload in device. Coding of this e-book is true, text fully readable (in this fact I must bring my great respect to Kovid - Sony E-book library couldn't do it with cyrillic texts correctly), but there are no chapters, pages numbers - nothing more than text. What I doing wrong? Or in plain TXT no chapters, pages and nothing else?
