"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Installing Calibre on EEEBuntu

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I use often my EEEPC as E-Book reader especially when I travel by train. The program I use (FBReader) works fine and, in border-less mode with the page tilted of 90°, makes the EEPC an almost optimal E-Book reader. But since I’m looking for some extra features I decided to install Calibre.

Calibre is literally a all-in-one e-book software with many features from the library manager to external readers synchronization. I’m mainly interested in two features: Calibre library management and the RSS feed reader.

Installation

I simply executed Calibre installation command (all in the same line):

sudo python -c “import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen(
      ‘http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/
      download_linux_binary_installer’).read(); main()”
