For various reasons I don't want to "upgrade" past High Sierra on my root/main/boot-up Mac OSX.
I can run OSx 14.0 using a VM, but I want to be be able to access 32 bit applications easily, or as Apple itself says, "without compromise", and that means OSx 14.0 is a non-starter.

I've been able to upgrade some fairly fundamental software like Xcode by a few simple hacks, and will try it with Calibre 4, but perhaps it's already been done.

I don't really see why you actually NEED > OSx 13.6 to run Calibre 4.0, but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks,
Alan
You can plug in a USB drive and install the latest OSX on it and boot from that and run the latest Calibre. But to be honest, not upgrading will someday bite you in the a$$. Appl doesn't care about comparability otherwise, why remove 32-bit programs from running? There's no good reason for that.
