A KDE Dev finds a flaw in Calibre's mount system

[baggyeyes]

A KDE developer discovered a serious security flaw in the way Calibre mounts eBook readers and tablets. The resulting bug list discussion was surprising, to say the least.

I have to say, even though the mount system was removed, I can't say I have much confidence in Calibre's developer right now.

I can only take calibre in small doses. I import files, do a few conversions, send to disk under my own organization, then remove the books from calibre. I simply cannot get over its features enough to be able to use it as a library management program. If most everyone agrees that this is a flaw in my own make up, so be it. But there are enough people like me that I feel confident in knowing that my way is not wrong, simply different.

So let those who seem to have an intuitive grasp on this program continue using it with joy, and we'll find some other way of handling our files.
