Anyway, I've restored the Win 7 VM, to the status quo ante where Calibre's e-reader displays books nicely.

@Suffolk Punch Have you tried running ADE and K4PC under Wine, I don't know for certain if that would work - but some bright spark around here is bound to know. If it's doable you could then use Linux calibre. Then the W7 VM would only be needed for the Active X app.
