Hi! I've just gotten a new Onyx Boox M96C. It's my first e-reader. I got it (mainly) to read PDF books from places like archive.org and academic journal articles in PDF form. Now I need to manage my new collection of downloaded files and I've read good things about calibre.

Right now I'm on Debian Wheezy. Jessie will probably be released in the next few months. Jessie has frozen calibre 2.5. So I'm thinking of "manually" installing calibre 2.5 (using the installation scripts available from the calibre site) on my Wheezy machine for now and, when I upgrade to Jessie, just stick with the packaged version of 2.5. In general, I prefer to let Debian manage my software via aptitude. So this is my current plan.

Question: Or, is there a compelling reason that I should instead track with the release version of calibre and not use the Debian packages? Keep in mind I'm completely new to calibre and haven't used it for anything yet! Thanks for your help.
