calibre-4 .dmg file

I've tried downloading the new 4.0 version multiple times onto my Mac, which is running the latest system. I cannot open the file. I get the message: "no mountable file systems" every time. I've never had this problem before... what's different?

You'd probably do better asking in the Calibre forums. I will say that the first time I downloaded 4.0, the whole file didn't download (although system said 'finished'). So you could try to download again.
Failing that, check out the Calibre forums.

It requires macOS Mojave 10.14. The dmg format being used probably does not exist before 10.11 or 10.12. But that is just a guess as my machine runs 10.13.6 and can't run it.

What browser are you using to download the file? If you can, use Chrome. I've given up on Safari in downloading Calibre updates. I had no trouble downloading 4.0 in Chrome.

I'm on 10.13.6, and I am able to mount the dmg. However, once mounted, Calibre is shown with a line through it — which answers my other question about the feasibility of running Calibre on High Sierra

P.S. I downloaded with Safari, then downloaded again with Chrome. The strike-through over the app appears on both versions.

Just reboot your mac, and you should be fine. Provided you are running Mojave or newer.
