Mange your Kindle in Linux

“I’ve owned a Kindle 2 for nearly a year now. I have to say I do
love it and am not impressed with the iPad’s ability to allow the
user to read books. Why? The Kindle doesn’t offer distractions and
I can happily sit by and and read as long as I like with no eye
strain and no distractions.But I have to say the Kindle storefront
search is pretty bad. I almost always would rather shop from my
computer. And as far as adding books – well, you can drag and
drop them into the Kindle content folder – which is fairly
simple. But what if you want to manage those books on your
computer? Believe it or not you can do this with Clibre. You can
manage your books, edit their metadata, even convert them to other
formats (if said book is DRM-free).

“In this article I will show you how to install and use Calibre
to manage your Kindle book reader. NOTE: I have written about
Clibre before (but only covered managing books in the Sony ebook
reader). See my article “Manage Sony Reader in Linux” for more
details.”
