Sigil on PocketBook under Linux?

Kiruhdu · 03-05-2014, 07:09 PM

Hi there

Is there any possibility to run Sigil on a PocketBook Lux under Linux OS?

Reason is: most errors in e-books I detect when reading; if Sigil could run on this device, I could correct it on the fly maybe...

Much thanks for all help!

I seriously doubt that it could be made to run.
To begin: That device is optimized as a Reader, it probably is missing many of the infrastructure needed to support other programs.
The screen is small
No keyboard and mouse...

Frankly, Sigil is a resource Hog... But so what! A desktop has them, so why worry.

I usually just take a note of the error and perform a bunch of changes at once. Unless I know there's a lot, in which case I read it within the editor (calibre not Sigil, but same difference) since Desktop is infinitely superior for editing.
