Browse books by their covers

hemkum · 10-26-2009, 03:59 AM

Recently I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and using Ubuntu software center I installed Calibre.
Seems everything is working fine except when I click on "browse books by their cover".
When I click on this button nothing happens as it remains unresponsive. Not sure if I need to install any other package along with this one.

Thanks,
hemkum

I have never actually found Calibre in any *buntu libraries so I am not sure what version you are running, most repos' are usually behind the current release.
The version should be displayed by the heart - top right, the current version is 0.6.19 if you are not running that version use the link above the version to visit calibre.kovidgoyal.net and follow the instructions for getting the current binary installed.

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

Agreed kacir, but as a new user he may need to read the instructions on what to do with that magic line of code.
