When Goodreader was first released, it was 99 cents. That's how much we paid for it.

Well of course it's the aspect ratio, but you can still remove the grey margins if you double-tap the middle of the page.

I knew that. That's what I meant to say.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ![]() |

Concealing Covers of Ebooks in Kindle
Is that possible?. I thought downloading to iCloud library might do this. It does not.

I'm gunna sound like a real noob, but I have a series 1 iPad that I want to repurpose as a dedicated reader. Trouble is I can't use the USB transfer to load it even when calibre says there is a transfer option (have found that I need iOS 9 plus, but can only use iOS 5)
Any bright ideas or old versions? |

But seriously, an iPad 1? That is a very old tablet with low resolution. It is so old that I suspect there are very few apps that still work with it because you cannot use the newer iOS versions. And at that age, I'm surprised the battery still holds a charge. You can get a cheap new tablet with better resolution and support for calibre, albeit an Android one. You can also find used iPads that are much newer than your ancient one that would work, although they won't be as inexpensive as a cheap Android tablet. |

Some observations and questions:
- if your iPad still works, then why not use it? I still used to use my old iPad 3 until recently. - what apps are you planning to use? - some apps can use wifi (on your iPad) to connect to calibre or the app on your ipad can be connected through a browser. Epubs etc can be transferred over wifi. It mostly depends on what ereader app you plan to use (if possible). Hopefully old versions of the app are still available. Regrettably Stanza isn't. ![]() NB: I just tested all this with: - calibre (latest) on debian jessie - marvin epub reader on iPad 1 (!!!! found one under some dust !!!!) - connected from marvin to calibre (set up Content server on calibre) worked with website and opds view. - if marvin works then most probably some other epubreader apps will work as well (for example shubook) if you can find them in the app store.

This is a strange thread to post this in, as there is a calibre forum here, and this has nothing to do with iPad.
I will assume you are talking about the file names you are seeing in Finder for filenames for your books. · is the HTML entity for 'Middle Dot' character (U+00B7 unicode). calibre has a template to control generation of the file name from Title and Author. It's found in Adding Books preferences. The default is this Regular Expression: Quote:
But please consult calibre documentation, or post in calibre thread for any follow up. |
