    Hmmm . . . I can’t get Calibre to open a PDF on Linux. Any suggestions?

      Did you add the pdf to your Calibre library and open it or did you open it from somewhere else?

        Hi, sorry for taking so long to get back–I right clicked on the PDF on my desktop, and told it to “open with (calibre) ebook viewer,” at which point it just hangs and says “Preparing book for first read, please wait.”

          Maybe try opening Calibre proper and adding the pdf to your library first? It should work the way you’re doing it, not sure why it’s hanging like that - unless there’s a problem with your Library location?
