![]() I already had a decent amount of DRM free eBooks from many of the Humble Bundles, and since the new eInk tablet runs Android, it can run the Kindle and Google Play reader apps for any books that you can't find being sold DRM free (Plus there are ways around the DRM of those platforms, but I won't go into that here.). Once that decision was made, I started looking into possible changes to my setup for storing/consuming eBooks and Comics. With that in mind I decided to go with an eInk tablet that runs Android and has full stylus note taking with handwriting to text recognition. I think the actual act of writing helps cement the information in my head more than typing does, but referring back to or searching old notes becomes difficult with stacks of notebooks. I have tried reading from a computer/tablet screen and definitely notice a difference in eye strain compared to eInk.įor my work and other projects I still hand write a lot of notes. After using (and loving) a Kindle (Keyboard model) for over 10 years it was finally time for a new eReader. In that spirit I run a Plex server in my home network for my collection of movies and music. ![]() While I do still use services like Amazon and Google for certain movies, books, and comics, I like to retain actual ownership of my digital media whenever possible. #Start Calibre-Web (available at python3 cps.py Pip3 install -system -target vendor -r requirements.txt #Clone the 0.6.11 branch of Calibre-Web and install prerequisites #Test start of built in Calibre server (available at /usr/bin/calibre-server -with-library ~/Calibre #Create basic Calibre database with a single book I downloadedĬalibredb add ~/Downloads/book.epub -with-library ~/Calibre/ #update package database and install Calibre You may want to change this for a more permanent setup. These steps just put everything in folders under the home directory. Here are all the commands needed to get a basic setup going on an up to date Raspian install. Either way, going back to the 0.6.11 tag on Calibre-Web solved the issue. It could also be a compatibility issue if the version of Calibre in the Raspbian repository is older, as I didn't dig too deep. I am not sure if that is a general issue due to ongoing work in the current branch, or if something was introduced that specifically caused an issue on the Pi. ![]() Secondly, I ran into problems when running the latest code from the Calibre-Web repository. Luckily, if you are using Raspbian on your Pi, there is a Calibre build in the standard repositories. Once you get it setup, it should work pretty much the same, but there were two differences in the install process.įirst of all, the install script from the Cailbre site doesn't work because the Rasperry Pi uses the ARM architecture instead of x86. Since I had a Pi 3 sitting here I thought I would give it a try and document the differences. I had a couple of people ask/comment about running this from a Raspberry Pi. Just a short follow up to the previous article How Did I Setup Calibre/Calibre-Web for eBooks.
