As the 4.5.5 kernel did not work well with my desktop environment I will stick to the latest kernel 4.9.13, but at least I know that it's solely the kernel.

@kovidgoyal I wonder if more users of Calibre will experience this problem when the relevant kernel update e.g. ships in Ubuntu which is much more wide spread than Fedora - what do you think?
You can try the 4.9.16 kernel it is the stable with all the back-ports and patches(hopefully). Mint does not have the 4.5.* kernels in the depositary, go from 4.4 to 4.8.
