Calibre book management?

[geordiejohn]

Hello I have got mx 32 bit running on an hp laptop but I can't install calibre because I have a 32 bit system does anyone know how to install it using terminal command please?
If not does anyone know of something else I can install to send to my wife's kindle?
Thank you.

calibre is available in the standard repos and should include a 32 bit package. its mostly python, which is architecture agnostic for the most part.

in fact, it should be listed in mx-packageinstaller->popular apps->office

otherwise it should be in all the package managers as "calibre" and install-able from the command-line via

Code: Select all

sudo apt install calibre

I used to use KindleGen from Amazon to convert epub to mobi.
It is now no longer supported and cannot be downloaded.

The archive kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz is available for download at https://archive.org/details/kindlegen_l ... _i386_v2_9
After extracting the archive I drop the epub file on 'kindlegen' and a mobi file is generated in the source directory.

Then I connect the kindle using a USB cable and copy it to the reader, or send it via e-mail to the kindle.

Working in my MX21.1_x64 installation.

We have a current Calibre 5.44 in the MX 21 test repo for amd64, i386, and armhf platforms.

MX Package Installer instead gets static binary builds from the Calibre project, which are able to run on MX 19 also, but are only provided for amd64.

Both the builds from calibre and the repo versions should be in mx pi.

Thank you I used sudo apt install calibre and all done.
