Software update: Caliber 1.16

Like almost every Friday, a new version of Caliber has been released this time as well. Caliber is an open source and cross platform ebook management program. Among other things, it can look up all relevant information and cover images, and convert e-books to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. It can also convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS feeds into e-book format, and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. Version 1.16 includes several improvements to the new epub and azw3 book editing module introduced in the previous edition.
