Calibre and Cybook
Sorry for the dummy question: does Calibre work with the Cybook? I installed it on Mac OSX but the Cybook does not show up in the GUI. Any suggestion?
Best, Marco |

Calibre doesn't work with Cybook, only with Sony's readers.

Yes, but you need to have loaded in the library a format that is compatible with the Cybook.
Calibre will not convert to Mobipocket, for instance. Or if it does, I haven't seen how during the first tests and the few searches I've done. |

It doesn't right now, although I'm planning to tackle adding either Mobipocket or eReader generation after I finish LIT generation.

Yeah, I recently learned that eReader uses it's own, non-SGML-like markup called "PML". But other than that, the basics will be largely the same -- render XHTML+CSS into a pure-formatting markup language then cram into a Palm database. Mobipocket is definitely more popular, but contrawise that means that eReader has gotten a lot less tooling love. I'll probably take a poll :-).

I would go with Mobipocket given a choice. It's a lot more popular a format and I think more people would find it useful.

I do agree with JSWolf.
Plus I have a Cybook, so I would definitely enjoy that |
