Getting started with EBookReader

Modifying book-servers configuration

  • Ensure that the "EBookReader" activity is not opened.
  • Open "Terminal" activity.
  • Open the file "/home/olpc/Activities/EBookReader.activity/GetBooksActivity/get-books.cfg".
  • Here, the servers-configuration can be managed. As a simple test, try removing one of the pre-configured "Feedbooks" or "Internet Archive". When the application is next launched, only the corresponding servers (present in "get-books.cfg") will be available for the books to be searched from.
