libprs500 renamed to calibre

I don't know how to send you an error message because there does not seem to be any errors, except for the fact that I can't see the program, except for the icon. Any ideas?

I am running it on a 12" PowerBook G4 867 MHz.

I reformatted my laptop (2nd time) and can't get Calibre to open...same problem as the above poster. It was working fine before the 2nd reformat. I also installed librs500 (I had saved a copy) and it will not open either.

I'm on a Lenovo X61 laptop running Windows XP. Other programs like converlit and amberlitconvertor work fine.

What should I do next Kovid? I've reinstalled both calibre and librs500 3 times with the same result.

The only difference I can tell is I took the Service Pack update before installing calibre this time.

When calibre was working (prior to the reformat)I had not taken the Service Pack update for XP.

wait for 0.4.73 (in a few days) and then try. If it crashes, find the file calibre.log and post it here

See details here.

Thanks for this link. Actually, this is exactly what I did. I was about to post this link here. It was extremely simple and took less than a minute.

Since it is Russified now, I will not be able to figure out which encoding fonts need to be used in Calibre to display cyrillic without Russification.

Hi,

After applying unicode font patch, when I upload files to my reader via calibre, I have a couple of problems.

1. When I upload new books to my device, the collections/series info is not stored. How do I get around this? I've heard you can use collections on the Sony reader Ebook Library software, but I can't figure out how.

2. Old collections are not deleted. I deleted books from one of my collections so the colleciton is empty, but is retained. How do I fix this problem?

Thank you.

ETA: turns out, it's not the only problem. several files wouldnt open, with the triangle warning sign showing up. They now only appeared if i look under the actual drive/folders, not in ebook library or calibre.. one of the files linked to a different file, and would show up as something messed up when i do chkdsk on g:. After trying to fix it, I get the Invalid Format warning on starting up and wil prolly have to wipe the reader again.

I installed the latest update over the .73 install and now the files will convert from .lit to lrf, but there seems to be a problem. Tried with several old .lit files too.

Here is the error message:

I am very new at all this and could not find a place on Kovid's website to ask for help, the forums there do not seem to have a 'post new' button.

I did not keep the former version's install file.

Thanks for any advice.

You need to register to be able to post. After registering and logging in, create a ticket and attach one of the lit files that is causing a problem.

Thank you, Kovid, did try to send you a 'ticket', this was new too, the learning curve is steep indeed. Hope I succeeded.
Thanks again.

[Jelis]

Kovid, sorry to bother you again, but I really would like to solve the problem I am having with Calibre 4.74. Yesterday created ticket number 835, but did not see it in trac, guess I did not do it right. Today tried to create new ticket, number 840, and on attaching small text file, error message, received this message:

Oops…

I saw your ticket, and already uploaded the fix in version 0.4.76. It's at http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/835 you couldn't see it because it had been closed.

[Jelis]

Thank you so much, Kovid.
Installed 4.76 and everything is working again. Thank you for a great program.

Does Calibre run on Vista?

Yes.

I have been playing with calibre and am having trouble.

I can convert a text file to LRF and create the OPF file without any worries. But I wanted to save a HTML version and when I save to disk as only HTML it saves an empty file. I tried with a few other conversion formats and always saves an empty file in the format I chose.

Am I on the wrong track or should Calibre be saving the ebook as a single file.

Ta

[kovidgoyal]

calibre doesn't generate HTML versions. You can do this from the command line using the command

markdown-calibre file.txt

[peterbbb]

Ok. I downloaded the programme and it installed fine.

I then click on the icon to run Calibre but it does not run???

I have Vista as my OS.

Any suggestions of where to look for a solution, please?

Peter
