Install

Prefer installing from the website, because package in distro are often outdated [1]:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Tips

Transfer to kindle

The best format for kindle is azw3. Otherwise Kindle also reads Mobi, but does NOT read epub.

To force Calibre to use azw3:

  • Move azw3 as first in the list.
  • (Bug on Calibre 3.48) Unselect mobi, to make sure Calibre won't use it.
