Calibre is an open source e-book library management application that enables you to manage your e-book collection, convert e-books between different formats, synchronize with popular e-book reader devices, and read your e-books with the included viewer.
It acts as an e-library and also allows for format conversion, news feeds to e-book conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer.
Calibre"s features include: library management; format conversion (all major ebook formats); syncing to e-book reader devices; fetching news from the Web and converting it into ebook form; viewing many different e-book formats, giving you access to your book collection over the internet using just a browser.
Calibre 6.15.0 new features:
- Allow adding external links to tags, series, publishers, etcetera in addition to authors
- The links show up as click-able icons in the book details panel. They can be set by right clicking the author/tag/etc. in the Tag browser and choosing "Manage"
- calibre:// URL scheme: Add support for a new type of URL that pops up the metadata of the specified book in a new window
- Works even with books not in the current library. See here for details
- EPUB Output: Do not shrink images to fit the screen size by default, as modern readers do this themselves well enough. Can be controlled via an option in the EPUB Output section of the conversion dialog
- Edit metadata dialog: Add buttons to pop up the category editing windows easily
- Metadata download: Allow specifying rules to transform publisher names in addition to author and tag names
- Edit metadata dialog: Use both a colored border and an icon to indicate errors in line edits
- A new tweak in Preferences->Tweaks to control what program is run when clicking on URLs in calibre
