About this robust library management software.2011. Book management program Calibre integrates with book websitesThe latest version of book manager Calibre 0.8 can now search across numerous web stores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones and others for e-book editions of the book you want. The results are shown sorted by price, making it easy to find the most affordable edition to add to your collection. This feature, like the rest of Calibre, is plugin-based, so expect new stores to be added in the future. When downloading covers for a single book, Calibre will now retrieve covers from all available online sources and let you choose the one you prefer, rather than making the choice for you. Additionally, you can now perform search and replace operations on the book list in your Calibre library using the Bulk Metadata Edit tool and create complex file names from book metadata when exporting books from the Calibre library. The new Virtual Columns feature allows you to add custom metadata fields and automatically populate them from Calibre. For instance, you can add an ISBN column or a column to display the formats the book is available in.2010. Personal library software Calibre improved mobile device supportKovid Goyal has released a new version of his library organizer Calibre 0.7. It includes enhancements to the user interface and performance, along with improved integration with device drivers. When connecting to devices, Calibre now stores the metadata it retrieves from the files on the device. This means that on subsequent connections, Calibre will quickly build the list of books on the device. If you prefer to maintain large collections of books on your device, you will find this feature invaluable. An experimental driver for the iPad enables you to connect the iPad to your computer with Calibre running. The driver operates by utilizing iTunes in the background, so you will also need to have iTunes installed and your iPad configured within it. The conversion engine now supports Unicode characters in RTF input documents and automatically converts ligatures for PDF input documents. The e-book viewer now features built-in dictionary lookup. You can now effortlessly create a catalog of all books in your Calibre library by clicking the arrow next to the convert button. The catalog can be generated in several formats: XML, CSV, EPUB and MOBI, with the possibility of future formats via plugins.

Prevent you from reformating the e-book to your liking, including making stylistic changes like adjusting the font sizes, although there is software that empowers you to do such things for non DRM books. People are often surprised that an e-book they have bought in a particular format cannot be converted to another format if the e-book has DRM. So if you have an Amazon Kindle and buy a EPUB book sold by Barnes and Nobles, you should know that if that e-book has DRM you will not be able to read it on your Kindle. ***2012. Book library software Calibre gets a modern new lookThe latest version of e-library organizer Calibre 0.9 features a new "modern" appearance. This update provides a more contemporary look to the interface with emphasis highlighting, gradients, rounded corners and more. The refreshed e-book viewer includes a new "paged" mode, where the text is divided into pages. This allows you to view multiple pages on the screen simultaneously. Calibre can now connect wirelessly and via USB to Android devices. Modern Android devices often use a specific "MTP" protocol when connecting through USB. Calibre now supports this protocol on Windows (Vista and later) and Linux. Another new feature is Calibre Portable, which keeps the Calibre library and settings bundled with the Calibre program. This means you can store the entire setup on a USB drive and take it with you. Calibre's conversion engine now fully supports Amazon's new KF8 format. It can convert KF8 books to other formats and convert other formats to KF8. To convert to KF8, set the output format in the Calibre conversion dialog to AZW3.2011. Video: Calibre Tutorial about its features and interfaceKovid Goyal, the creator of the popular home library management software Calibre created this video tutorial called "How to use Calibre - a look at its features and user interface". It shows some tips of how to optimize your usage of the program user interface. The main window interface consists of four areas: the book list (shows the books in your library), library browser sidebar (allows to browse your collection by various categories like series, publishers, rating...), book detail view (shows the book cover, formats available, comments..) and the upper search bar (allows to find books in your calibre collections). The user interface areas can be risized and hidden. You can also rearrange/hide columns in the book list. Watch the video
