I would like to install Calibre (ebook reader/organizer) and numerous rpms for fc13+ seem to be available for different architectures, but I have been unable to install on SL6. Have been successful on Linux Mint.

Worked for me on CentOS 6. I just run the install script.
CODE

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"



Make sure you have xdg-utils installed.

Glad it worked for you. I've found Calibre to be extremely useful, enough so that I donated a small amount to it.

Thanks for the help with the command :] I had to tweak it a bit however. I am sitting in the office and we access the internet through proxy so this:
CODE
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

I had to change to this:
CODE

sudo python -c "import urllib2; proxy=urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://proxy_username:proxy_password@proxy_url:proxy_port'}); auth=urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(); opener=urllib2.build_opener(proxy,auth,urllib2.HTTPHandler); urllib2.install_opener(opener); exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"


Worked nicely for me :]
