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.

Do you mean the [deleted] all-in-one tools plugin? It is cross-platform, and even recognizes ADE/K4PC in WINE.
Hmm, maybe you mean the [deleted] plugin? I think it will have a better chance of being supported through WINE when Alf gets ahold of it.

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.

I will be building my computer from parts myself, and getting laptops with linux preloaded too. But currently I use an old computer that had Windows on it when I salvaged it.
No point deleting the Windows partition, it took little effort to setup dual-boot and it just costs disk space.
I don't believe in wiping a potentially useful Windows partition on principle, though I wouldn't pay for one.

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

It will happen in the Year of the Linux Desktop.
