Looking for recipe display solution
It's been a long time since I've done anything with regards to jailbreaking or modding a kindle, so please forgive me if I've missed something that's is common knowledge that perhaps wasn't the last time I looked.
I have a early generation Paperwhite with a small ding on the screen that I replaced and no longer use. I have a HUGE collection of cooking and baking recipes in an app called Recipe Keeper on my phone and PC. My PC is too big for kitchen use, since it's a desktop rig. My phone is too small and may require me to hold it in my food-covered hand to read the recipe. I don't want to spend the money to buy a tablet that isn't a cheap, slow Android that would be a pain in the rear to use. I'd like to repurpose my old Paperwhite by way of jailbreaking/sideloading recipes from Calibre to become my e-ink cookbook. At one time, I had Vellum on my Mac, so I have the ability to create ebook files, so in theory I could compile all my recipes and put it on my old paperwhite that way, but I'm hoping there's already a more out-of-the-box solution for this sort of usage, and my google-fu is failing me in finding it. Can anyone point me in the direction of tools to accomplish this sort of thing? |

calibre can convert just about any format into KF8/azw3 (kindle) format. Alternatively, if you can make PDF with a 6 inch page size and tiny margins (I have no examples), you could do that. No jailbreak needed.
For sugestions on how to make the ebooks, try the E-Book Formats sub-forums https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=177 particularly Workshop. Provide information on the details of what you will be starting with. |
