Calibre is program to view, edit, convert and print ebooks.
Usage
Connecting USB devices
To connect devices via USB, you might have to add the following to your NixOS configuration:
services.udisks2.enable = true;
.cbr files
If you want to open .cbr files, you need to add the following lines to your NixOS configuration:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
(calibre.override {
unrarSupport = true;
})
];
Note:
calibre requires several unfree packages to open .cbr files. If you are using allowUnfreePredicate you will need to ensure that your configurations permit all of them.
{
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate = pkg: builtins.elem (lib.getName pkg) [
"calibre"
"unrar"
];
}
