The app is #Calibre, by the way. I don't really use Calibre to read ebooks — for that purpose I use an iPad or nov-mode on Emacs, and have even read entire books on Steam Deck — but it is where I manage my ebook library and the grid view of covers is especially nice. Most of my ebook collection consists of liberated Kobo purchases, and I wrote a guide on how I did that with Calibre on Arch Linux. https://ljwrites.blog/posts/kobo-drm-removal/

#askfedi does anyone synchronize #calibre to #bookwyrm ? Not an initial bulk import, but like: whenever you push a book from calibre to the ebook reader, you mark it as start reading in bookwyrm. Or move it from some "yes I have it" to "want to read"/"carry it with me" shelf?

I found it this blog post commeting the functions and possible replacements for Calibre... Not very promissing. The best alternative today, is still at development and is a Mac Os app... (Citadel). https://anarc.at/software/desktop/calibre/ #Gnome #Calibre #Ebooks #EbookManager

Someone knows a program for #Gnome similar in functions to #Calibre but with #GTK and #LibAdwaita design? Please, boost for reach more people and, luckily, more suggestions.

My Supernote Nomad is an excellent offline e-ink note taking device. I want to have something similar for ebooks that's also privacy respecting. I wish there was a GrapheneOS device that had an eInk display, I'd use that with a FOSS eBook reader and Calibre. I like some of what Boox is putting out, but IDK how private it is. Any suggestions? #askfedi #privacy #boox #supernote #eink #grapheneos #android #ereader #calibre

阅读软件 Calibre 之插件，将中文电子书，竖排改为横排，繁体改为简体 Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

Calibre, 是一款强大、易用的电子书阅读、管理软件，免费、开源，既适合普通读者，也适合计算机专家。零、安装 Calibre，选择适合自己操作系统的版本安装。 https://calibre-ebook.com/download 一、安装中文转换插件 (Traditional<->Simplified Chinese Converter / Author: Hopkins): Preferences, →Advanced, →Plugins, →Get new plugins（在左下角，黄色按钮）, →Filter by name: Chinese (手工输入）， →Install, →Yes(风险安全提示），→OK(点击)。关闭 Calibre, 重新启动 Calibre。二、竖排转换为横排：（前提条件，文件本身可以转换，比如 epub 格式。） 1、使用 Calibre 打开要转换的书，比如 epub 格式； 2、Edit book, →文， →Other Changes, Text Direction: Horizontal(横排：手工选择），另外，默认是 Source, Entire eBook（对整本书进行转换）， →OK(点击)， →Save and Quit (保存并退出）。再次打开这本书，已经由竖排改为横排了。如果本身是横排，想改为竖排， Edit book, →文，→Other Changes, Text Direction: Vertical(竖排：手工选择）, 选择 Vertical。 3、进一步调整书中图片大小，Convert books, →Convert individually, →OK(采用默认设置，不作任何更改）。 4、打开 Calibre Library 文件夹，找到这本书的文件夹，这时有两本同名的书，都是将竖排改为了横排，一本书的名称有 “original” 后缀, 它是 Edit book 保存后的结果；一本书的名称无 “original” 后缀，它是 Convert books 保存后的结果，但是对于书中的图片，改变了大小。可以根据个人喜好，选择“original"后缀的书，或者选择因为”Convert books" 保存的书。三：繁体转换为简体： 1、使用 Calibre 打开要转换的书，比如 epub 格式。 2、Edit book, →文， →Conversion Direction, Traditional to Simplified(手工选择），→Language Styles, Input: （Mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan, Japan, 根据原书的实际情况，选择其中一种,例如选择： Taiwan)， Output: (Mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan, Japan, 根据实际目标，可选择其中一种，例如，选择 Mainland），另外，默认是 Source, Entire eBook（对整本书进行转换）， →OK(点击)， →Save and Quit (保存并退出）。 3、如果原书是竖排，可以同时选择改为横排。四：更改 Calibre 软件界面显示的语言(英文→中文）英文界面：在顶部第一行，选择“扳手和起子修理工具”的标志，→Preferences， →Interface, Look & feel (点击）， →English(右手边，有一个框内显示, 点进去，下拉选择： Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese 任意一种）， →Apply (在右手边，最下方）， →OK(点击)。关闭 Calibre, 重新启动 Calibre。 Calibre 软件界面显示的语言已经更改成功。如果不喜欢，可以更改回去。其实，所有软件，鄙人一律选择英文界面，出了问题，也方便用英语搜索答案。如果搜索中文结果，很可能是抄来抄去，而且还有可能是错误的，浪费时间。这也包括鄙人写的垃圾文章在内。附注: 有时， Calibre 可能打开某些 epub 格式的电子书，内容却是空白。这时，可以改用其他软件打开 epub 格式的电子书。例如： Linux OS 可以选择安装 foliate 等等。参考资料：現代漢語常用簡繁一對多字義辨析表 BYVoid https://ytenx.org/byohlyuk/KienxPyan 漢字簡繁轉換一對多字表 https://github.com/kfcd/yiduiduo 繁簡體字轉換表 https://github.com/kfcd/fanjian #calibre #竖排 #横排 #繁简转换 @board

Several years ago, I started creating an archival library "time capsule" from RSS feeds with #Calibre. Each feed is converted into an ebooks. I have amassed over 250K ebooks from RSS feeds from news feeds, various blogs, etc. and it is an ongoing process and project. Although I read my favorite sources daily, I haven't come close to reading the vast majority of them but I feel it is my duty to do this for some reason, esp the news. I wonder what the legality of hosting them on the internet somewhere is. They come from public RSS feeds.

While it is fun having the progress shown as 3500 / 13488 with The Complete Wheel of Time ebook, I wanted to enjoy the individual covers as well. Luckily Calibre with the epub-split plugin made that rather painless, just some metadata adjustments. Also kudos to TOR publishing for intentionally providing a DRM-free epub, making this possible (without having to remove it beforehand) #book #ebook #epub #Calibre #TheWheelOfTime #WheelOfTime #Pocketbook
