How can I read ePubs from EBSCOhost (academic library) on my Kobo?
I have ebook-borrowing privileges at the university I studied at. Their catalogue (as with most academic libaries) is with EBSCO(host). When I search for ebooks on their EBSCOhost catalogue, I can limit/filter for just ebooks. I then see some ebooks are available as "PDF full-text", whereas others are available also as "epub full-text".
How can I read these ePubs on my Kobo Forma? UPDATE: According to Oxford University, I can get them to my Kobo through Adobe Digital Editions. So I guess I gotta find a way to get ADE working on my Linux system. But that's another question. Last edited by droopy; 10-28-2019 at 03:09 PM. |

I followed all the steps in the tenforums link. I right-click the Windows x64 in vmplayer window, I then see a window open up, wit the words "Waiting for Connection..." then it just closes by itself.
When try to run the vmplayer in terminal, I get this: Code:
~/Downloads $ vmplayer I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml" (vmplayer:8265): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:59:41.346: Inserting action group 'Base' into UI manager which

I've never tried vmplayer. I've only used Virtual Box, which is probably not as robust as vmplayer, but I think it's easier to set up. It should be in your repository.

Don't even bother with virtualbox. Use virt-manager, which is also in your repository. It has better guest performance for Windows and QEMU is better integrated with the host. For guest integration, use the SPICE guest additions. And, for even better disk performance, install the virtio drivers and change the disk from SATA emulation to VirtIO.

DrLimu, thanks for your comment. I was following the workarounds too on WineHQ, but ADE crashes on me. Which Linux distro are you using? Can you tell me what terminal commands exactly, from start to finish, you used? Thanks.
I double-clicked ADE_4.5_Installer.exe, and I get this: Here's the "backtrace.txt" file that I was given an option to save: Code:
