Calibre is a free ebook management that works on Linux, OS X and Windows.It is meant to be a complete e-library solution and thus includes library management, format conversion, news feeds to ebook conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer.
It’s very easy to install calibre on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 machines.Just make sure you have xdg-utils installed on your system(search “xdg-utils” in System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager),then run this command in terminal(Applications->Accessories->Terminal):
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
It will take a few minutes to download package and properly install this on your system.
Once the installation finish,you can open calibre from Applications->Office->Calibre

Hi
I don’t know if you can help but I tried to download Caibre so that I can use my Kindle with my PC and add music to it etc. I run Ubuntu and followed the instructions above. It seemed to go well and downloaded then seemed to stop and got the following messages below. I am a very basic PC user and I don’t know anything about downloading or manageing systems apart from following basic instructions,
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Annie

Awesome I couldn’t get it to install in the repository I’m glad you put this up here not sure what the difference was but thank you.

When it prompts you to enter the installation directory, don’t put the whole command in again, just hit return. It will then load calibre into your home folder. Your problem was that it was taking the command as a directory location.
