A wireless device plugin that uploads EPUB files to CrossPoint Reader over WebSocket. The plugin auto-discovers devices on the local network via UDP broadcast.

See crosspoint_reader/README.md for protocol details and configuration.

Installation

Download the latest release from the releases page, then in Calibre: Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file.

Development

Setup

# Build and install the plugin into Calibre
make install

# List all installed plugins
make list

# Remove the plugin
make remove

See calibre-customize docs for more options.

Releasing

The version is read from the version tuple in crosspoint_reader/driver.py.

# Bump the version (updates driver.py in place)
make bump-patch   # 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
make bump-minor   # 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0
make bump-major   # 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0

# Package the plugin into a zip (crosspoint_reader-vX.Y.Z.zip)
make zip

# Create a GitHub release with the zip attached (runs `make zip` first)
make release

make release uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to create a tagged release with auto-generated notes.

Typical workflow:

make bump-patch (or bump-minor / bump-major)
Commit the version change
make release
