[How To] Calibre on Android e-Reader (Nook Touch)
I installed Calibre on my Nook Touch to fetch news and serve contents to reader programs in the device. The method can be used with other Android readers. In summary, Calibre is installed in Debian 6.0.0 chroot environment for an ARM-based CPU. The steps are as follows:
1. Prepare a Debian 6.0.0 package for an ARM-based CPU using this command in a PC with Debian 6.0.0: Code:
debootstrap --arch armel --foreign squeeze debian --verbose http://ftp.debian.org/debian and uncompress to the folder “debian” 2. Make an EXT2 partition on an SD card. The partition size should be larger than 1 GB. On a Windows PC, you may use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition but the second partition cannot be shown. You may need to use a Live CD or a virtual machine to copy the debian package (in Step 1) to the new partition. 3. Connect to shell in the device Code:
adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX adb shell Code:
cd /data/local/ mkdir mnt mount -t ext2 -o noatime /dev/block/vold/179:21 /data/local/mnt Code:
cd /data/local/mnt chroot debian /bin/bash export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH export TERM=linux export HOME=/root export USER=root mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.2' > /etc/resolv.conf echo 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main' > /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update Code:
apt-get install calibre apt-get install python-routes 7.1 Exit to DOS prompt 7.2 Copy .bashrc to the local PC. Code:
adb pull /data/local/mnt/debian/root/.bashrc Code:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export TZ=Asia/Bangkok export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH export TERM=linux export HOME=/root export USER=root Code:
adb push .bashrc /data/local/mnt/debian/root/ Code:
cd /data/local/mnt chroot debian /bin/bash Code:
ebook-convert /usr/share/calibre/recipes/nasa.recipe /usr/share/calibre/serve/nasa.epub calibredb add --duplicates --with-library /var/www/ /usr/share/calibre/serve/nasa.epub calibre-server --with-library /var/www/ --daemonize I use APScheduler: http://packages.python.org/APScheduler/ My script (script.py) can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?to23i9339ivx1p9 Code:
import os import time from apscheduler.scheduler import Scheduler # Start the scheduler sched = Scheduler() sched.start() def job_function1(): os.system("ebook-convert /usr/share/calibre/recipes/thairath.recipe /usr/share/calibre/serve/thairath%20news.epub") os.system("ebook-convert /usr/share/calibre/recipes/cnn.recipe /usr/share/calibre/serve/cnn.epub") os.system("calibredb add --duplicates --with-library /var/www/ /usr/share/calibre/serve/cnn.epub") # Schedule sched.add_cron_job(job_function1, day_of_week='mon-sun', hour=4, minute=0) while True: time.sleep(10) Code:
nohup python script.py & - calibre server - lighttpd webserver - mounting the directory in the chroot to the SD card Code:
mount -o bind /data/local/mnt/debian/usr/share/calibre/serve/ /sdcard/eBooks/Calibre 11. Control Wifi on-off You can use Taskbomb or Tasker to control Wifi to save the battery life. 12. When rebooting your device, you will need to input these commands: Code:
mount -t ext2 -o noatime /dev/block/vold/179:21 /data/local/mnt mount -o bind /data/local/mnt/debian/usr/share/calibre/serve/ /sdcard/eBooks/Calibre cd /data/local/mnt chroot debian /bin/bash mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys nohup python /opt/script.py & http://kristof.vanhertum.be/?p=132 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DS101/Debian http://evilzone.org/android/debian-on-android/ http://www.saurik.com/id/10 http://packages.python.org/APScheduler/ http://www.read.in.th/node/1164 Last edited by aruangra; 09-25-2011 at 07:43 AM. |
