Not that i get much choice now - when i get transferred to the web site, i am presented with the proper but only choice available (x86/32 bits). So this logic is already there - either in Calibre or in the website.

What does billy g has to do with it? It has absolutely nothing to do with the OS. It's just a nerdy unintelligent implementation of the setup program. Probably nothing Calibre developers can do about.

No i did not. I will try it next time and i'll see whether my choice will persist in the subsequent updates. What does Adobe have to do with this? Just because there one well known company with notoriously bad habits, should we all start adopting those habits ourselves and ignoring everyone else having them?
