Caliber is an open source and cross platform ebook management program. Among other things, it can copy e-books to and from readers and convert them to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. It can also convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS feeds to e-book format, and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. The changelog of release 0.9.2 looks like this:
New Features
- Wireless driver: Speed up deletion of multiple books
- E-book viewer: Add options to hide the scrollbar and show reading position in full screen mode.
- News download: Add a field to allow recipe authors to tell caliber to remove duplicate articles that a re present in more than one section from the download.
- Metadata download: Turn off the use of the published date for the earliest edition a book as the published date. The earliest edition was identified via worldcat.org, which has rather poor data, leading to the occasional incorrect result. If you want this feature back, you can turn it on again via Preferences->Metadata download.
