I can't download plugins!
i just downloaded calibre portable. I plugged in my kindle 4 but I set it to generic e reader beacaue in the options it said kindle 1-4 TOUCH instead of non touch. I tried to install plugins under preferences (green puzzlepeice) but it said it cannot reach the plugins index with something to copy. is it a link? why is this happening?

@s.lee.f To install plugins calibre needs to access this site (ie MobileRead). Hence calibre needs to get though your firewall. You may need to allow that to happen by changing your firewall's settings.
If you don't want calibre to get through your firewall you can download the plugins from the first post of their thread in this forum, and install via Load plug-in from file. If you don't allow calibre to get through your firewall, you wont be able to download metadata, use the Get Books feature and various other things. BR |

BTW this issue has noting to do with your reader device Since you re running Portable, that implies Windows. What version and what browser do you use normally? |

It's windows seven professional and not my own computer as I don't have one. so I can't do anything. What is the link for the website to download the plugin? And even if I download it because of the firewall will it afffect anything in the plugin?

The link to the zip is normally at the end of the first post, and download via browser (Save Link As or Save Target As) - MR doesn't like download 'accelerators', but the PI zips are tiny so they only take a moment. BR |
