The only reason I need this is to download an ebook in epub format.

There are linux epub readers available, I thought I had one installed but I can't find it at the moment, but Okular will read epub files.

As will Calibre, just for an additional datapoint.

Yes, I use Calibre under Windows for that purpose, but I wasn't aware there was a native Linux Version, is there? If there is a native linux version I would be installing it to make easier to get epub files into my wife's Kindle, assuming I can get Fedora to detect the device, which could be problematic, Fedora detecting my Nikon digital camera seems to be problematic, although I haven't tried it since upgrading to F41.

There's absolutely a native Calibre build:

I can't speak to Fedora's ability to update Kindles I'm afraid. I've reverted to paper books on the whole.

But searching the web should help clarify.
