So, if you don't want Calibre to have an LLM, I believe your point of no return is version 8.11. :NoAI: Luckily, since Debian Stable is reasonable, the repository still has 8.5.

The thing I would recommend is if you use Calibre regularly and do not want any "ai" garbage, mark your version now in APT and hope that the @grimthorpeLisa St.John 's Clbre fork project continues to advance (I have hope) so that it will make a newer version of Calibre without LLM's easy to install.

For the time being, my Debian (and Debian based distro) friends, you can mark the current version to be safe.

Just run:

sudo apt-mark hold calibre

And to check that it worked, run:

apt-mark showhold

A snippet of a screenshot showing text in a terminal. It reads: "sudo apt-mark hold calibre calibre set on hold. apt-mark showhold"
