-If you want to open <code>.cbr</code> files, you need to add the following lines to your NixOS configuration:
+<code>.cbr</code> files are comic book archives in the [[Wikipedia:RAR_(file_format)|RAR]] archive format.
+If you want to open <code>.cbr</code> files, replace <code>calibre</code> with the following in your NixOS or Home Manager configuration:

-{{note|<code>calibre</code> requires several unfree packages to open .cbr files. If you are using <code>allowUnfreePredicate</code> you will need to ensure that your configurations permit all of them.
+{{note|<code>calibre</code> requires {{nixos:package|unrar}} to open .cbr files, which is an unfree package. This also causes <code>calibre</code> to be marked as unfree. If you are using [https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-allow-unfree <code>allowUnfreePredicate</code>] you will need to ensure that your configurations permit all of them.
+For example, you can add this snippet to your NixOS configuration to allow <code>calibre</code> and <code>unrar</code>.
