I'm running Linux Mint 18 (built on Ubuntu 16.04).

You might want to make sure to download the latest version of Calibre directly from the Calibre website. The versions in the distros are notoriously old and will likely give you problems.
That's great news. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully the new Snap Package system Ubuntu developed will be adopted by the other distros and we'll see faster updates, so we don't have to go hunting for PPA's.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably run a Windows VM rather than wine if I need Adobe since I've always felt uneasy about running wine.
