discovered calibre just yesterday and so far it seems to be the answer to my prayers. great work kovid!

as i am running a 64 bit system, i installed via the binary option and it wnet thru no prob on my kubuntu 8.10 desktop. later in the evening i got a message that 0.4.119 is available so i used the command:

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"

it downloaded and installed ok but when i start calibre i still see it as 0.4.117 as the current version and 0.4.119 as being available. am i doing something wrong to upgrade it?

my reader is iRex DR1000s. can calibre recognize it so i can use the 'send to device' button? its grayed out at the moment.

last - can someone please point me to some sites where i could get de-drm utilities?

thanks in advance.

cheers and merry christmas,

/bazmi.
