Calibre 4.15. What version can I update to to still be able to convert my books?
I am using Calibre 4.15.
What version can I update to to still be able to convert my books? And do I need to update any plug ins to do so? I am hapy with 4.15 and it works well so don't want torock the boat as they say. But thought I should consider updating to a later version that would stll enable me to convert? |

If you are 64 bit and any of Win10, Win11, Mac, Linux and the current version 6.x runs, then it will convert everything.
Last 32 bit is maybe 5.44 (some 5.x version), which will also convert everything. |

I only want to manage and convert my books. Nothing else. Thought the new versions wouldn't let me convert kindle books? |

If you run DeDRM, you will need to upgrade that. Download and install 10.0.9. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools |

It is something I am quite nervous about and suppose out of touch. Been using that version of calibre & Alf for a long while
Not even sure how to do it now with Alf. |

The good thing is that if you have any questions about the new calibre, you can ask on MR and get help. The other thing is that by keeping updated, you won't have such a large jump from one version to another. I'm using the latest version and it works very well with my Libra 2. |

If everything is working for you now and you don't know how to set up a new version of deDRM, don't update. Nothing wrong with using an older version if it does the job.

It's best to keep calibre as updated as possible alone with the plugins. Also, it's a lot easier to get support for a new version then an old version. |

I don't update Calibre every time an update is released. Often not in several months. There's no need unless you have a problem or you want something the new version offers. |

People, please STOP trying to talk the OP out of upgrading his obsolete version of calibre.

By already configured: we mean that it inherits your Alf's configuration.
No DRM is one of those that MR does not host, (We can only mention it, no further help allowed) so the Calibre Notice and update tool does not work. That does not stop you from installing it the same way all other Calibre PI get done. Preference Plugins. Always read the release notes on the download page if you are using an old OS Kovid always discusses Major coming changes that might affect existing plugins. IF there are any USER issues with Calibre or its plugins, they will be mentioned here, usually within hours of release. So just check here You do have me a bit puzzled. Why are you waiting to convert your books? (or were you including new purchases in this use) Once converted, they are a part of your Library and just need to be delivered (USB or email) at a later date? That part (or if necessary, an OS 'file Copy') will always work. AFAIK Calibre has never removed a format support. Calibre 2.0 was limited to newer OS when it was discovered that it was unreliable under XP. There simply are no NEW 32 bit releases being made. All older 32 bit releases are still available for download Staying as current as you can, means new devices and file types are supported. |
