RMSDK-based viewer for Linux
This is a follow-up to my previous enquiry.
I'm looking for a good RMSDK-based epub viewer. Most suggestions I've seen seem to veer toward either ADE or Sony. But neither is available for Linux. Any good suggestions? --Nathanael |

I don't think there's a Linux-compatible RS out there that uses RMSDK. I've heard that people have had success with ADE on Wine though.

In other words, your epub-reading hardware/software. RMSDK: Reader Mobile Software Development Kit. Adobe's middleware for producing RS's. Also known as "the Adobe Digital Editions engine". |

Thank you, Valloric... So if we want it to be RMSDK based, it has to be an ADE-enabled reader, right? So, Sony, Kobo, and hanlin/Jinke models come to mind. Sony is expensive, Kobo has that sqlite database without on-device db management (epubs deleted from the filesystem are not cleaned out of the database, so it gets confused when you put a new version of the same file back on... not good for testing epub versions).
Which sort of leaves Astak and Endless Ideas as vendors of choice -- off the top of my head - there are others. The Hanlins allow loading of your choice of system font, too, which is nice if you need more Unicode support :-) |

I guess for now I'll just continue formatting for WebKit. I'll just have to depend on Elizabeth Castro's EPUB - Straight to the Point and the ADE sticky thread in the Epub forum here to get me around the ADE idiosyncracies. --Nathanael |
