Program dies the second I attempt to select a folder for the library.

If I start from a command line, it exits with "Segmentation Fault" which seems to be the same as this problem: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=347820

Running on latest RasPi OS 64-bit; RPi 4B+ with 8GB RAM

Not exactly helpful.
Did you actually try the suggestions in the thread you referenced before indulging in snark?

There seem to be quite a bit more than @gbm's suggestion that there was too little RAM in that thread.

I'm not sure where you got "huh?" from unless you were perhaps referring to:

Did you try running with a monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to your Pi4 to see if VNC might be part of the issue? Did you try running calibre as root to eliminate most permissions issues?
