Question for 950 owner(s) - re: Calibre server

DigitalAutoPilot · 10-29-2010, 07:24 PM

Hello.

I have been using an Android tablet for my ebook reading while waiting for the new Sony readers to come out...

They are now all out and I'm ready to buy...

I've gotten quite used to leaving my ebooks on my internal Calibre server and simply browsing via the HTML interface to select what I want to read next.

I have read most of the posts here and I understand that the 950 works well with wifi and simple web browsing.

Here is my question:

On the 950, can you browse to your own internal Calibre server, view the metadata, etc.. then download the epub to your reader?
The specific interface I use with Calibre is either the \browse or the \stanza one.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to test this for me.

If you haven't yet done so then you might get a quicker response from the calibre forum on this board...

Well...

It's not really a Calibre question - it's a question that is specific only to the PRS-950

The user manual says that file downloading is not supported in the browser.
