daletsteele · 12-03-2021, 12:55 PM

I'm unable to install the Linux version of Calibre on my Raspberry Pi using normal software add tools or following online instructions on Calibre website. This was possible in the past but it's been some time since I updated the version I use.

Now that I've moved to Bullseye for my OS on the Pi neither version of Calibre is available. Others on Raspberry Pi forums are reporting the same results due to Python not being compiled for ARM (see below).

Does anyone know if this is likely to be fixed or if there are other workarounds such as running Calibre via my iMac for reading and library management as is apparently possible with iOS devices?

Thanks, Dale
