Description

It would be nice to have OI support in Calibre.

The reader device is autosynced when the user attaches it to the PC running Calibre.

This needs a safe way to

  • detect an OI device being attached to the PC (via device-specific USB id - or other means?)
  • script file transfers to and from OI device (N516: usb mass storage mode, V3: ?)

Change History

For the V3 it ought to be possible to use rsync. If we use IPv6 then we can just use link-local addresses and don't need to deal with IP configuration.

We could also support file transfers using the PTP protocol over USB.

In fact, I am working on a client library (liboi) to operate OpenInkpot device over SSH connections. The library is very basic now, but supports executing commands in device, and transferring files between host machine and device.

It is hosted at  http://liboi.googlecode.com . Hope it useful.

Updated to calibre 0.6.43 last week and was surprised to find that N516 integration was added. Changelog says it was added with 0.6.32, but it does not appear to be OI specific. Works with OI, however.
