A new version of Caliber has been released. Caliber is an open source e-book management program and is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. 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. Furthermore, the program can convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS feeds into e-book format. Books can also be purchased with Caliber at the well-known web stores. The program is under active development and a new version is usually released every other week on Friday. In version 3.19, the following improvements have been made:
New features
- Driver for the new PocketBook 740.
- Allow using relative URLs in comments type metadata. The relative URLs are interpreted relative to the book folder in the caliber library.
- Edit book: Reports: Do not show characters from the HTML markup in the characters report. Close tickets: 1753788
