alpha 2 readme
1. Get a terminal, preferably on a computer with a keyboard, but xterm will do.
2a. Install Lighty Web Server. Make sure it works by going to the http://localhost on the touchpad if its a blank screen, restart.
or
2b. Just open /skindle/readme.html after it is written in step 6
3. Download file from below. Extract it onto so it looks like /media/internal/skindle aka touchpad://skindle
4. Copy the .mobi files you want to "/skindle/ready" (use calibre if they are not)(also, set this directory in calibre as the ebook reader directory for future use)
5 Get a terminal and run:
cd /media/internal/skindle
bin/python skindle.py
6. It will ask you to open localhost, do this now, or find it using internals and copy it to a computer
8. A list should appear of the free samples to download. Download them now.
9 Press Enter. This step will overwrite your amazon samples with the correct name of the mobi file.
10. ?
