Overview

For the project that I did for raspberry pi is the EBook server. What this project is a portable kindle with a lot of books that can be downloaded to it. What makes it unique is one can search all the books by what author is their favorite or find one favorite title of the book he/she always wanted to read. 

After one set up and powers the raspberry pi, next is to type in the terminal sudo apt-get install calibre. Once installed, it’s done. Then next after she found the books she/he wants to hit the download button in the calibre. Once downloaded now he/she now has access to all the books one download to the raspberry as a separate kindle or portable kindle that anyone can read if the set up of the raspberry pi is right and has to have Wi-Fi.

Conclusion

For the final conclusion of the project the set up was pretty hard. It took me almost a week or more trying to figure out the coding in the eBook server. What makes this hard was when I plug in all the things that need to power the Raspberry Pi; the hardest part was trying to connect to the Internet with wireless. Let me tell you it just wouldn’t connect at all so I had to reset my router and boot up it again just so it can connect. But after all that, the rest falls easily. I would recommend a good router if trying anything for raspberry pi.  

For my satisfaction with the project. I can’t believe that tiny box can download that many books to read. It was amazing just to see the entire struggle on trying to connect to the Wi-Fi to download books was worth it. For the last thing I could change for the eBooks server if it said it fails to connect with Wi-Fi then in the terminal type dpkg –configure-a then try to install it again it will work.
