It supports up to thirty e-reader devices but this article will tell you how to use Calibre to convert RSS feeds to EPUBs (which can then be read in Calibre's own E-reader or synced and transferred to your external reader of choice).ĭespite what the Calibre webpage says about not installing from distro repositories, this really is the easiest way to do it and it should be in all the major distros. It can handle all your e-books in all the major formats, including PDF, EPUB and Mobi. For my money Calibre is one of the most indispensible pieces of software in GNU/Linux.
