Alternately you can have the book files on a thumbdrive and copy from it to the Downloads folder.ģ. Copy files to my Download folder in Cloudready's Files appĢa. To add a book to the Calibre library isn't quite as straight forward as opening a file path as CROS hides its file structure from the user.

Super easy as Flatpacking is built into Cloudready. Following JCloud's link, I installed the Flatpack version on my Cloudready Chromebox. I've used Calibre on my iMac to convert odd book formats to work on my iPad. I hope Smith is viewing, perhaps he can enlighten us? Using Calibre's Library tools it wouldn't allow moving the existing library folder. Referencing step 3 below, when I tried to create a Calibre library folder in the Download folder, Calibre complained the Downloads folder wasn't empty and refused to allow me to do that. Linux (which Flatpacks are designed for) currently can only access the Downloads folder.

Not sure what's going on, I'll update this post if I figure it out.ĮDIT/ADDED #2: I think the issue with saving books to the Calibre library is due to CROS protected file structure.

I had to go through the steps to re-add it. It'd be useful to know how the kindle connects to normal computers as that's probably the tricky bit here.ĮDIT/ADDED: I just noticed when I quit Calibre and then relaunch it, the book I added to library is missing. I'd plug it in then run the Calibre app from launcher and see if works, good luck :-)

You go to search for the app you want, click install which downloads a file, right click that file and go open with then install, it puts an icon in your program launcher (thing that comes up when click bottom left circle).Ĭlick install to download file, right click file in files app, go open with then install. There is another solution that is easy to install, however I'm not sure if it will connect to your Kindle or not you'll just have to try it and report back here how far you get.ĬloudReady has a built in way to run a type of Linux app called Flatpaks with no additional setup needed. Secondly you would have to install the Linux Calibre app which seems also complex, see I see now you want to plug in Kindles and download books to it from Calibre, sorry was in rush earlier.Īfter quick google Bidwell is right there is a Linux Version, however that would be the most complex way to try it.įirstly you would have to turn on Linux beta (which many people are having issues with right now) Sorry I thought you meant amazon kindle I'm not sure what this calibre thing is.
