I have recently switched to Linux Mint version "Sylvia" on one of my laptops. I did this because, although I am using Windows 7 at the moment on my main machine, I am trying to prepare for a future without it when it expires in January 2020. I definitely have an aversion to Windows 10 and know I would be miserable if I had to use it.

I downloaded Calibre version 2.55 through the software manager on Linux Mint but cannot find the Calibre preferences section. Does it exist on this platform and if so, can anyone show me how to find it?

One other question, do Calibre plugins work in the linux version?

I suspect I can install Calibre Windows version into a Virtual Box on Linux but I would rather not.

Thank you.
