XS Community Edition/0.4/Services/Ebookreader

Getting started with EBookReader

• Download the .xo bundle from <insert link>, and copy it to a pen-drive.
• Insert the pen-drive into a XO, running "Sugar" environment, based on GTK3.
• Navigate to the pen-drive menu, and click the "EBookReader-1.xo" bundle.
• Voila.. the activity is installed and launched. Time to play with it :)
• Now, a PDF or a EPUB file can also be opened directly via "Open With EBookReader" (or imported via the "My Library" tab).

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. To 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.

• • Add the following server (thanks to Sameer for providing this server for testing) ::
