Download Caliber 0.7.50

Caliber is an e-book management program and can handle almost all types of e-books and e-readers. It makes it possible, among other things, to convert e-books between the various formats in order to make e-books available on all platforms. In addition, it can also convert news articles based on RSS to e-book format and in this way make news available on e-readers.
