	Thanks  much to all!  Dnf got me Calibre and all its support 
troops in a flash, and it spotted my plugged-in Kindle immediately.

	I'm going to have to work on configuring it, I think, because it 
imagines I want to connect to Amazon, which I almost never do. (We have a 
Prime account; but abebooks.com is often better, especially for older, 
out-of-print books.) But that's a detail, or so I trust.

	OT : I've just bought several copies of one of the best books I 
know (and I'm a bookworm's bookworm), Plagues and peoples by William H. 
McNeill, to hand out locally -- once I figure out how, under lockdown. I 
want to recommend the ebook form, too, -- once I make sure of a clean 
copy -- to people who don't live locally, including some who don't even 
run Linux. <grin>

	Thanks again! Excelsior!
