Hi all!

Lots of chatter about the new ebook-reader...

After updating to Calibre 4.4.0 and deciding I really preferred the "old" ebook-viewer, I downloaded a pre-4.0 tarball [calibre release (3.48.0), 64-bit binary] and extracted the ebook-viewer, copied it to /opt/calibre/ and /opt/calibre/bin/ and set the owner and permissions.

For some reason, it just does not work - I can't even run the viewer (it's set to executable) and I am running x86_64 Ubuntu.

Anyone else tried this and had the same or similar problem?

I'll post if I get it to work, but I'm baffled for the moment.
