I see that cromag was sticking on topic and referring to B&N downloads.
My mistake. I was referring to the calibre plugin that eases restrictions on not epubs. With that in mind, I stand by rest of my post regarding getting it to run under linux. I am extremely frustrated by the extreme effort required to get any atention paid to a matter that can do so much good with so little effort.

For a couple of years in the mid 1990's, I put quite a few hours into making new machines dual boot. I noticed I was never booting, so for a couple of years, I would reformat the disk and just install linux. Then I got tired of subsidizing vicious attacks on computing freedom and only bought OSless sytems, used diskless systems, or parts, and, lately, systems with preinstalled linux (unfortunately, usually ubuntu). Oh, and one chromebook that had chromeos replaced by linux within minutes of being first powered up.

Linux versions of commercial software would be nice. (There are some, I know.)
