[Digikam-users] Re: How to read Digikam Tricks on a Linux computer

[Gregor Rosenauer]

btw if you're on KDE, and as epub and mobi are open formats, the book
file will open automatically with Okular, KDE's universal document
reader. I had no problems with this approach, also with complex layout
like for example with Manning books.

Thanks Dimitri for your work on this book, it is highly appreciated
(yes I bought it,-).

> I'm the author of the digiKam Tricks book. Although it looks like you've found out how to buy the book and read it on Linux, I thought I'd chime in with a few clarifying comments. The book's official page is http://scribblesandsnaps.wordpress.com/digikam-tricks-book/ which is mirrored at digikam's website (http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/543). The book also has a dedicated page in the Amazon Kindle Store (http://amzn.to/digikamtricks) If you have an Amazon Kindle reader or Kindle software installed on your machine, you can buy the book via Amazon. Alternatively, you can buy the book via PayPal. In this case, you'll receive the book in the EPUB format which you can read on virtually any platform, including Linux. Being a Linux user myself, I recommend using Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) or Cool Reader (http://coolreader.org/e-index.htm) to read the book. I tried FBReader, but I encountered some text rendering problems.
