Thank you.

Let us know how you go. I'm planning to Install Linux Mint to run through the Wiki instructions to test them as soon as I get the chance. Any feedback would be appreciated.
So far as the other programs go you may need some assistance with Kobo as there were some difficulties when I last installed it. The Winetricks verb may be working now but I had to start with an old version to get it to install. Then it offered a series of upgrades and is still working with the current version. Also, Obok needs a little tweaking to get it to work. In particular the Linux part of the code was commented out, and the database and books directories are installed by Wine in the fonts directory of the Wine Prefix. I actually modified the Obok code and also inserted directly the new paths on my system. However, much of this is more easily achievable by symlinks. I haven't bothered to write it up since there seems to be little demand as Kobo books can be downloaded to ADE in any event. I only bothered because I like downloading the kepubs and wanted a further broken encryption alternative for when Adobe eventually does flick the switch. Let me know if you need Kobo desktop and I'll help you to sort it out.
