I've installed version 5.90 from source. No additional python modules required from what I've ready installed. Also installed DeDRM 7.0.3.

Calibre works great. Unfortunately the current version of DeDRM doesn't remove DRM from epubs for me. I'll keep an eye on  https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools and will try the next version to see if that works.

Patrick O'Callaghan you said DeDRM worked for you. Did that include epubs?

Yes, it was.  I originally had F29, with Calibre 4 installed through
their installer, plus DeDRM.  When I upgraded to F32, and Python 3
become the default, I at first thought I should upgrade to Calibre v5. 
However, doing that broke DeDRM.  That got me doing research and, when I
tried installing the Fedora Calibre 4.23 package, things "just worked." 
I didn't touch the DeDRM code plugin during that upgrade process, it
remained what it was when I started.  I've since upgraded to F33 without
any issues.

My "why is it working for me?" question was largely rhetorical, btw. 
Just to be clear.  :-)
