* |ss| As of August 2018, Calibre-Web doesn't yet include Calibre's e-book
conversion functionality (e.g. Calibre 3.27.1 [released 2018-07-06] allows
teachers to convert between PDF, EPUB, HTML, TXT etc — to permit reading on a
wider array client devices and client software). |se| |nbsp| This new Calibre-Web
feature (which depends on Calibre's ebook-converter program) needs to be manually
configured in IIAB 6.6 as of 2018-09-12: `janeczku/calibre-web#624 <https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/624>`_

|se| |nbsp| Fixed by `#1127 <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/pull/1127>`_ on 2018-09-12.
To manually enable the converting of e-books (automated above, should no
longer be necessary!) log in to http://box/books as Admin/changeme (etc) then
click Admin -> Basic Configuration -> External binaries. Then change these
2 settings:
* Change radio button "No converter" to "Use calibre's ebook converter"
* In textfield "Path to convertertool" type in: ``/usr/bin/ebook-convert``
Then:
* Submit
* Verify that "ebook-convert" appears on Calibre-Web's "About" page at http://box/books/stats
* Test it by clicking any e-book -> Edit metadata -> Convert book format

even when ``services_externally_visible: true``. This is fixable, but perhaps
it's not a priority, as URL's like {http://192.168.0.x/books,
http://10.8.0.x/books, http://127.0.0.1/books and http://box/books} all work.
