Bookeen Cybook Muse HD and Calibre
Hi all,
I'm attracted to the Bookeen Muse HD. Before buying it, I need to know if I can use Calibre to transfer books to it, and manage my library via USB as I have been doing for years with my (now defunct) Kobo Touch and my Kindle. The sales staff hadn't even heard of Calibre (!), and I couldn't find anything in the specs or on the Bookeen site about it. I've found two posts here which seemed to conflict, one saying: Quote:
and one by Kovid Goyal himself, saying: Quote:
But perhaps I've misunderstood the second quote. I just want to download to my computer, and then transfer to the device with Calibre, and, occasionally, to delete a book or copy it back to the computer. (Devuan GNU/Linux) Thanks in advance. |

Thanks Rand.
Actually I got impatient and took the punt and bought one. I've been playing with it since, and decided that I like it.. The only thing is that Calibre (2.5 in my case) doesn't recognise and mount the Cybook, but that's not a problem because I can get to it through Connect/share with /media/impert/Cybook. In some ways that's better than automatically mounting it. I've put twenty or thirty books on it so far, and got rid of some of the unnecessary stuff from Bookeen, so yes, Calibre is doing everything I want. Thanks again. |
