We had a cat named Pixel back in the 90s to 00s too. Does yours walk through walls? In any case, enjoy every moment with her.

Huh. I guess I replied to the wrong thread! I saw another about a cat named Pixel. Weil, enjoy Light anyway!
I have used several, the first I used was RedSquirrel which later evolved into the commercial Virtual Acorn. After RedSquirrel stopped getting updates, have mainly used RPCEmu.
I loved RISC OS. I got the computer in ‘87 or’ 88, while at university. Such smooth multitasking for its time. For school work that involved writing some programs, I fired up the PC emulator in order to run Turbo Pascal. It was sweet seeing a virtual PC running in a window while doing other things in other windows. Writing graphics programs with GUIs (Acorn C) instead of just creating image files like most of the other students did was fun too.
I loved my A310 at the time. I’m not so much of a hardware person though, and I’m not sure I can get it working in the US, despite the rush of nostalgia it would mean. Main issue would be getting a monitor going with it.
I don’t use Calibre for this (but I do for epub and pdf ebooks). I use Plex and use Plexamp for my music collection. For audio books I used to have Chronicle Audiobook Player installed (which is open source, but not actively maintained) but am now trying out Listen Audiobook Player (which is not open source as a heads up). Both of those allow me to download books wherever I am.
If you have no interest in running a Plex server neither of them are suitable for you, but I just wanted to mention this solution in case you’re not dead set on using Calibre. Plex has a cost factor which may come into play (an obvious non starter for some). I have had Plex Pass for a long time so it was natural for me to use it, but might not be for you.
