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

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.
