More ebooking
March 27th, 2011 04:45 pmNote to self: how to create your own ebook catalog using calibre, calibre OPDS and dropbox. If it wasn't for the fact that my ebook library is currently 1.9GB I would totally already be setting this up. As it is, I need to think about pruning first, which I don't *really* want to do, or some kind of less space limited solution. Of course, I could always set this up so that it's only accessible from home and put it on the server, but it'd be nice to have it in the cloud too... I know - my life, so hard. I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, btw, but Calibre is really really good if you've got an ebook collection - it's helped me format swap my old prc ebooks I had on my Nokia into ePubs to read on my Android, which made me very happy. I hate getting stuck in a particular format.
Spent part of this afternoon downloading and trying out loads and loads of eBook reader apps as the one I was using wasn't displaying paragraph breaks properly in some books, which got kind of annoying. Have settled on Moon+ for now, but I quite liked Kobo too. Any other recommendations?
