beowulf573 · 07-25-2009, 09:40 AM

Well done, I'll be upgrading as soon as I have enough coffee in me to be sure I won't screw up.

junkml · 07-25-2009, 10:21 AM

WOOHOO! Got the new version installed. Great work Kovid!

wallflower75 · 07-25-2009, 11:06 AM

Thank you so much for all the hard work you do, Kovid!

jotas · 07-25-2009, 11:15 AM

Thanks for this great program and all your work

Didn't you have idea to add also converting to .FB2 .EPUB and others from a original and added (previously converted, or not) .LRF file?

Would be quite useful for many devices and .lrf files where you don't have original file conversion source, and/or you don't want to go through the whole process of checking, formatting, converting....

Thanks!
Regards!

EDIT: a basic, Calibre-feature option, to modify font size and margin over existing LRF library files would be nice, too, as commenting over https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=24978&page=2

@Lily: No, you can't. You have to switch the output profile manually for each convert, I'm afraid.

@wayspooled: Another Biggles fan, cool

@idum: Sure, calibre is currently compatible with a couple of smaprtphone, the iPhone and Android based phones. It should certainly be possible to add more in the future.

@AprilHare: Can you please followup up in the calibre 0.60 thread in the calibre forum (basically, I'm guessing you need the 32 bit libphonon library)

@tonyofla: That error usually means a corrupted installer.

jhjessup · 07-25-2009, 12:00 PM

I'm running Ubuntu and had the same problem as AprilHare- I fixed it by installing libphonon4:

sudo apt-get install libphonon4

Thanks Kovid!

I'm a little late to the party here, had to work yesterday and they changed my schedule so now days I work are impossible to get anything ELSE done. But I digress...Kovid, this is AMAZING!!!!! Thanks so much!

Just installed Calibre on Vista laptop, but can't find Ectaco jetBook on the devices list?
One more little question - after browsing by tags how do I get back to a listing of all the books in the library? When I press the "Tag" button again it goes back to the normal view but only the tagged subset of books are displayed - I'd like the entire list back if possible?

kovidgoyal · 07-25-2009, 04:24 PM

@rgeorg: clicking the little clear button next to the search field will do the trick

JenPen1 · 07-25-2009, 09:28 PM

Thanks so much Kovid (and all your helpers) for creating such a wonderful app. I loved it before but now I REALLY love it. I will send you another donation to show my appreciation for all the hard work.

Thank you so much. Not a techie but I had no problems at all. I have been using a Mac but I decided to install Calibre also in my ASUS. I just bought an iPod Touch as a backup for my Sony PRS505 and getting Calibre to transfer my books in my ipod was a breeze.

Thanks - I found it!

Is the 5" jetBook setting anywhere - I thought that it might make a difference in the conversion output format page size (maybe not if the pages reflow)? I will save the files to disk (SD card) so I don't need it for the actual device, just the page size specs.

kovidgoyal · 07-26-2009, 12:51 AM

No calibre doesn;t have a conversion profile for the 5 inch jetbook. To create one I will need the exact useable screen area in pixels

ahi · 07-26-2009, 12:52 AM

It just took Calibre 0.6 literally more than 5 minutes to display the conversion output drop-down box. I'm guessing the GUI is going wacky, as there is only 1 book currently in the whole library.
