Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

The app question depends on the type of Kindle you're using. The Fire has supported apps in the past, but more bare bones Kindles don't. Original Message From: A Harvey Sent: Sun Oct 03 15:30:50 EDT 2021 To: "D." Cc: flywire , Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC]

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Don't you have to connect your Kindle to a PC in order to install the docs in MOBI format too? How would we package the html, which is a few dozen files with a directory structure, so that it's easy to install into the Kindle? That question is mostly from curiosity. It seems that we got bad

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Flywire and D. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them tonight and report back. The Kindle has what Amazon calls the "Experimental Browser". I have tried it a few times in the past just to see what it's like. What it's like is pouring molasses, but it works. I will try entering the link

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

As a side note, I am surprised you you are building epub, html and pdf for your ebuild. On linux the idea is you build the "ghelp" target* which generates the documentation in the format gnucash expects. It's installed in a way that is should open with yelp. The other formats were never

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

If Arthur can load the html in your link on his Kindle, he could install an epub app (such as Overdrive) and get his flow going using that. Original Message From: flywire Sent: Sun Oct 03 07:25:44 EDT 2021 To: Gnucash Users Subject: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue Arthur,

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

John, Big difference, to me at least. I don't know the correct terminology or internal details, but I can tell you what happens if one tries to read a MOBI or PDF format. With MOBI, the Kindle will reflow text to fit the screen. For example, if I use a font size such that 10 words of a page fit

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Interesting, thanks. Do you know if there's a discernible difference between how a Kindle displays a PDF and a MOBI? Regards, John Ralls > On Oct 2, 2021, at 7:55 PM, A Harvey wrote: > > Just a nit. I don't think Kindle devices support ePub, at least not in > recent models. I'm not sure

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Just a nit. I don't think Kindle devices support ePub, at least not in recent models. I'm not sure whether the apps they have for PCs and phones. I have a book in LPR format (whatever that is) that works on Kindle for PC and Phone but not Kindle devices. >From the Amazon site: Content Formats

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

It hasn't been a while since I last built mobi-formatted documents with Cmake because I do so with every release and we just did one on Tuesday. It works fine. *However* the mobi format was a proprietary format devised by Amazon.com for their Kindle-branded readers that

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Please remember to send replies to the list rather than individual users. Particularly if you are soliciting for answers from "anyone" ;) As to your problems, can you provide more details ? It's been a while since I tested the mobi format. Back then it worked fine, also with cmake. You have
