Calibre and sony formatting when opening book

motero57 · 01-29-2010, 12:21 PM

Hello all

I have been a Windows user untill the beginning of this year. For 2010, I have only an ubuntu system. No windows in my pc.

I use Calibre from moving my books to my prs505. When I had windows, I was using the Sony library soft.

I have notice that when I move my books with calibre to my prs505, after openning them, The unit starts s formatting process that takes its time. With the Sony soft. that was not necessary.

I will like to know if there is any setup that would do this formatting process within calibre and not in the device.

Thanks

set your output format to epub

I've never tried epub. I have always used lrf . Main reason was that this was the native format for the reader. I will give it a go.
Thanks for advice.
