Hi all I am looking for the Program Calibre I d/l from ubuntu software center. Where would I find it in the Zorin file system tree?? Why does it not show up in the GnoMenu? It is a Linux program after all. I have tried searching for it. No luck. I know it downloaded I had to put in my password to accept it.

Thanks Chris :D

Hi chaps,

open Synaptic and type "calibre" in search, find the package and right click and re-install.

Make sure "calibre-bin" is also installed.

Regards Wolfman :D

I think the version from software center is a little buggy.
If you installed it from software center just uninstall it, and use the directions found here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
