www.calibre.de legitimate?
Hi there,

Some time ago, Google search started auto-completing "calibre" with "www.calibre.de" with my Firefox.

This site looks like a professional upgrade of the "normal" calibre page, but has many download links that appear rather dubious.

In addition, a German e-book website warned against using it.

So my question: is it a legitimate German branch of calibre or a fake site?

Regards,

McDummy

It's not legit. Stay well away from it and use the official calibre site.

It looks to be a very outdated website; the version it claims to provide is 5.34.0

It is not. The only legitimate calibre website is: calibre-ebook.com
