I guess I'm old school, mc is my file manager. I don't even know if it can be a drag & drop src. And it turns out that any epub's I may have had were wiped with a new install, circa 3+ years ago, as the only ones present on the system today are part of the calibre install. I've been playing with it for the last half hour, and the only thing it can open anything with is with gimp, and that spits out errors, failing to actually display the contents. So its gone downhill in a well oiled little red wagon since the last time I poked at it. Now its time to go feed the missus, & after that, write some gcode to carve a reversed 5C on an alu rod currently sticking out of the Sheldons spindle, which I had to regrind for concentricity, it was bent about 5 thou, probably by the same fallover that wrecked the compound and probably at least 2 owners back in time. This is to make a new 5C adapter by grinding the grizzly part down to the abbreviated MT5 in the Sheldon spindle. I'll make a lathe out of this thing yet.
