I run Linux Mint 16 using Calibre.

For a while now I've used my own script to update calibre.

Code:

#/bin/sh

killall calibre
python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/home/seth/calibre-prog')"

I can keep doing this. But I was thinking maybe just doing things the default way may be better with the changes in 1.26???

If I just downloaded the installer and ran it would it be a clean install and know nothing of my databases?

Any advantages to using it the default way?

thanks!
