That's actually a very good idea - I might look into this, to run a distro in persistent mode.

So - according to @kovidgoyal's suggestion that there might be malware on my Yoga, I clean installed Windows. Calibre still didn't work, exact same issue.

But here's the surprising thing. I downloaded the portable version of Calibre, installed it to a separate folder on my C: drive, and ran it. Guess what? It works!

This makes me inclined to believe that it might be a permissions-based issue (as to what DaltonST thinks), rather than a security issue. Mmwell, who knows

This being said, I've solved my issue of Calibre - if there's anyone else with a Lenovo Yoga 330 11-IGM (apparently called the Lenovo Flex 11 in the US), this may be the only solution for now
