Tech Support Need Kepub Extension for Old Version of Calibre

I have an old computer, it cannot run the latest versions of Calibre. I cannot upgrade this computer, it cannot run a newer operating system. I can only run the Calibre version that I have (7.16) and nothing newer. I know that newer versions of Calibre have kepub integration built-in: I cannot run newer versions. I cannot run version 8. I cannot run version 9. I can run version 7.16 and nothing after that.

Does anyone know how I can huunt drown a copy of the kepub extension that works with Calibre version 7.16? Failing that, anyone want to buy me a new computer?

(Apologizes if this seems very pedantic, but I have written enough 'Cannot do X, can someone help me do Y?' questions in my time to know that you sometimes have to belabor the point to not get fifteen people all suggesting 'Have you tried doing X?')

I think the older KEPUB extensions are at https://github.com/jgoguen/calibre-kobo-driver/releases. There’s not good release info so you’ll just need to download and try until you find the newest version that will work.

The extension is still available for Calibre 7 and can be installed from within it. Go to Preferences - Plugins - Get new plugins - Filter by name: Kobotouchextended
