Hi, hi.
I am laughing at myself.

At first I thought your idea was stupid because I don't like solutions like Flathub, where you install all the dependencies with all the packages. I like simple and efficient solutions.

But then I downloaded the txz file under the heading “Manual binary install” and unpacked it.

Then I discovered that I didn't even need to install the files in any special place. It was now enough to click on the Calibre file in the bin folder. Then Calibre started and used my old configuration files including the installed Annotations plugin. Wow, so easy to get Annotations to work.

I'm going to rely on that solution until Annotations gets support for Python 3.12. So I'm now very grateful for your answer.

Now I'll just move the whole Calibre folder to the place in my home folder where I usually keep special solutions like this.

By the way, it is Calibre 7.20 also in Devuan Ceres, but as I said, with Python 3.12.

Again, thank you very much.
