calibre 0.5.11 now runs strong and tall on my Linux laptop. I wonder how much I’ll really need to reformat personal content after the Kindle DX is on-board. I think the DX is going to handle my PDF manuals just fine.
I think, though, I’ll keep up with calibre. Who knows? I may hit some creative streak, wherein I’ll publish treatises of original thought and insight, and use the Kindle for something other than a high tech flat rate manual. Maybe. Stranger things have happened. Also, I’m getting closer to getting calibre whipped into an RPM, which will make the upgrade process much simpler. And, yes, if I get a suitable RPM built, I’ll share. That’s also part of the FOSS “payment” process.
