I actually tried Calibre under Wine, and it works mostly fine, although a little slow. The biggest issue is file types I'm not using Calibre's internal viewer for. I'm sure there's a way to configure Wine to handle these, but I'd rather spend my time getting Calibre working natively.

I think I'll stick with 1.48 for now. Maybe later I'll update after I've done some solid testing, but mixing and matching like that is just one more thing that has the potential to go wrong.

That sounds exactly how I'm trying to get this set up. It's good to know someone else is already running it like that.

Thanks for pointing that out. Can you believe I never actually noticed that column in the "get plugins" screen?
Looks like this is going to work out. I still plan to do some serious testing on a dummy library first, and of course make good backups of my existing libraries, but I'm pretty confident now. Thanks for your help, everyone!
