and installed on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04

Yes, I think FBReader is fantastic, and will read Mobipocket *.prc files, including rss feeds. Simply put prc files in one directory, add them to the FBReader library, and when you copy over the prc files, they remain intact in the library, since the file names remain the same.

Hi,

You can use Calibre Portable through Wine, after installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, included in Calibre Portable.
