epub on DR??

Floeee · 09-16-2009, 01:39 PM

somwhere i read about epub OR mobi on DR

is it already possible to read epub on my DR, or do i have to convert all my feeds to mobi before transfering them to my DR??

is it possible to get my feeds via calibre in mobi for standard?

Calibre can output MOBI, and that is probably your best option.

FBReader can read ePubs, so it is an alternative. FBReader ignores most CSS formating, so in many cases if you have ePub originals you may still be better of converting them with Calibre to MOBI.

but there was this news about 2 firmwares with which you can decide if you want epub or mobi support
whats with this?

so how can i set calibre to make mobi out of my feeds instead of epub? its also transferring them automatically to my DR, thats okay, but not in epub

calibre is also creating an "ebooks" folder on my DR, where my feeds have been saved
thats maybe because of setting an ebooks folder as standard folder for my calibre library, but i installed calibre again and set my library to a folder called calibre, but its still creating a folder called ebooks on my DR

how can i change this?

Hasn't been released yet. The next firmware update will be for DRM ePub support I believe and they will stop releasing updates that have DRM Mobipocket support. If you want to have DRM Mobipocket support then you just stop updating your DR1000, if you want ePub you'll be able to upgrade your firmware. I think its slated for later this year

thank you very much

are there any informations out there about the release of the next fw update with the epub support?

animedude01 · 09-16-2009, 03:24 PM

There's plenty of rumor, but nothing definite.

Floeee · 09-16-2009, 03:28 PM

No date has been announced. I suspect that we'll start hearing more information about it after the DR800 release.
