Description: Calibre (/ˈkælɪbər/, stylised calibre) is a cross-platform free and open-source suite of e-book software. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers. Editing books is supported for EPUB and AZW3 formats. Books in other formats like MOBI must first be converted to those formats, if they are to be edited.
I solved the three problems that prevented launching Caliber 6.26 in DebianDog (Debian 11):
a) install libopengl0;
b) disable sandboxing with the command: export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1
(to be able to open PDFs as well as EPUBs)
c) launch calibe 6.26AppImage.
I have tried all three releases and with Debian 11 Calibre runs smoothly. All its functions work excellently except the reminder for reading books in EPUB format. However, if the text is PDF it works well. When I click on the text or use the read book function In epub it does not show the text and therefore it cannot be read.
What do you think about it?
I'm sorry Kush, but I can only work with 5.44.0 even if I have Linux bookworm (Debian 12) installed. I join the error signaling.

I'm sorry, neither i am an expert with Appimage or Calibre. If you have any idea check the repo i'm using to build the file : https://github.com/KushagraKarira/calibre-appimage/. Also, the files have been updated.
thanks for the reply but even with version 6.15 i have the same error. My system is Bookworm (updated debian).

Still, the same file is working on my debian (gnome) system.
