So ,,,,,,I was in my Neon-LTS install when my daughter in-law came over with her Kindle to get 3 books I have she wanted to read.
Now I could have booted to the 14.04 install where I have Calibre installed already , but it's got to be an older ver. ,,,,it's been installed their for quite some time .
So,,,,,,,,,the ver. in the repo hear in Neon-LTS wont install (and is a known issue) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and that is an older ver. as well ,,,,,So I installed the one from Calibre
Ooo and it looks good.
when I did the setup on the first run I gave it "Nook" for the default device as that is what my wife's device is ,,,,,,,But as soon as I plugged in the Kindle the menu icons on Calibre's tool bar repopulated them selves to now include a device icon , and selecting the 3 books then selecting "convert and send" from the device icon drop-down menu oped up a box of Kindle formats to select from with the correct one pre-selected ,,,,, the transfer was fast and worked great .
the installation added Dolphin right click context menus for "open with" Calibre's built in reader or editor or Calibre it's self .
Nice
