Thanks, David.
I've attached my Advanced display settings.

If you are using the laptop display, you should be able to disable one of the drivers to force the other to be used. Or this may be an option in the Radeon control panel if it is one that is customized for your laptop.

I notice you, like me, are using the Intel Graphics thing. Do you not use the Nvidia one? And if you don't, are you still recommending that I do (well, Radeon in my case)?

Is updating the drivers a separate thing? I think you're just recommending I update my drivers in case that's the problem?
I'll try to choose the Radeon one now anyway but in case you're about now, hopefully you could reply to this first and then we can move forward in stages. [I'll check for replies much more frequently than I just did.]
Much appreciated; calibre does seem pretty slow to load books and also to close the window after I've edited metadata.
EDIT: Before I do anything else, I went into the Intel 3D settings (beacuse you did in your Nvidia settings - I had no idea what 3D settings were for or that they would have anything to do with calibre). I saw that General Settings was set to Balanced, so I changed it to Quality. I wonder if this might help in itself. (I don't have battery in my laptop because it broke so I don't care about power saving really.). I've attached that screenshot too.
