RadicalCodex, the eBook and Comic Book reader/organizer/exporter for Linux, has reached the 1.0 milestone!
A big thanks to everyone who tested RadicalCodex during the beta cycle! Your feedback has been absolutely fantastic.
For those of you unfamilliar with RadicalCodex, here’s a quick list of some of the things this little beauty can do:
- Let’s you read eBooks (.pdf or .txt) as well as Comic Books (.cbr or .cbz).
- With automatic bookmarking… you’ll never lose our page again.
- You can then view and search through your books with a nice, customizable cover view.
- And then organize your books into definable categories.
- If you have an Amazon Kindle or Sony PRS-505 eBook reader device, you can sync your books by a simple drag and drop.
- Heck, you can even set a Comic Book page as your desktop background.
Go ahead. Give it a spin. There are packages available for Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSuse, with more (including repositories) on the way.
I dare say, RadicalCodex is the most powerful and customizable (don’t forget best looking!) eBook and Comic reader/orginzer available. For any operating system. And it is only available for Linux.

Hello,
I tried RadicalCodex, he launch well, but it seem’s that it can’t « see » my sony prs-505.
My linux is an ubuntu intrepid 64 / awesome as my WM and a gnome-session running. I have all the recommended packages installed. I run radicalcodex from my console with a « ./radicalcodex » from the directory.
Here is the output :
`–> ./radicalcodex
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
I tried it on my laptop with a 32 bits system and it can « see » my sony prs-505 but not the books inside, nither synchonising it.
Regards,
Olivier.

nemolivier: On 8.10 64bit did you install via the provided .deb package?
Are you unable to sync books/comics to the prs-505 at all? ie: what happens when you drag and drop a pdf/etc to the prs-505/eBook Device listed in the bottom left corner?
What -should- happen is that you see a brief (in most cases far less than a second even) dialog (unless you are syncing a .cbr or .cbz). Then, after you unmount your 505, you should have that book on your device.
My two primary test rigs here are a stock 8.10 64 bit and a stock 8.10 32bit.

Gongrats on 1.0!
Changing the page with scroll wheel doesn’t work yet on my machine (tried this before with beta4). I used reimported thinkpython.pdf. I’m on Intrepid 32bit.
Tip: Grey out next page/previos page buttons when there is no next or previos page.
