It would be a much better suggestion if you'd suggested to run Linux in a virtual machine, and use that installation for Calibre newer than 1.48. At least, that is what I would do.

Spoiler:

(FYI: I work with Linux every day. I develop an embedded system on top of a small Debian installation, but the admin runs on both Windows and Linux, so I also use desktop Linux. While I can mention 10 or 20 reasons why I love Linux and would like to use it full time, I can just as easily mention another 10 or 20 why I'd like it see dead and buried sooner rather than later.)
