Calibre is a program to manage your eBook collection. It acts as an e-library and also allows for format conversion, news feeds to eBook conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer. It features library management, format conversion (all major eBook formats), syncing to e-book reader devices, fetching news from the Web and converting it into eBook form, viewing many different e-book formats, and giving you access to your book collection over the internet using just a browser.

What is new in this release:

  • Copy to library: Add an action to show a dialog that allows for easy selection of libraries for copy/move. Useful when there are a large number of libraries to choose from.

Bug fixes:

  • Hopefully fix an issue with the book list jumping around when using the mouse on some computers

  • Server: Fix changing sort/search in the /mobile view only working with the default library.
  • DOCX Input: Fix alt and title attributes for some images not being preserved
  • Amazon metadata download: Change the default source from Bing to Google as the Bing cache seems to be having trouble at the moment
  • ISBNDB metadata download: Ignore SSL errors when contacting isbndb.com as they seem to have no intention of fixing their broken SSL certificate
  • Conversion: Fix heuristics processing incorrectly removing some <br> tags.
  • Handle non-ASCII binary strings in the author_name_prefix/suffix tweaks.

Improved news sources:

  • Politico
  • The Times

What is new in version 2.9:

New Features

  • E-book viewer: Show footnotes in a separate popup window

    Now when you click on a link to a footnote/endnote, the corresponding note is shown in a separate popup window, for convenient reference. Footnote links are recognized using the EPUB 3 footnote markup as well as some heuristics. Any superscript or subscript links are assumed to be footnote links. Any link that links to another file which in turn links back to the original link, is assumed to be an endnote.

  • Cover Grid: Improve scroll wheel based scrolling.

    On windows and linux a single "tick" of the wheel now scrolls by about half a row instead of a full screen. On OS X, scrolling is pixel based, so as you scroll faster, more content is scrolled.

  • Performance improvement for large libraries that using custom columns built with templates

  • Sanitize the ImageMagick environment variables before launching external utilities.
  • Prevent stale 'On Device' info (from the previous connection) from showing during subsequent device connections

  • E-book viewer: Add an option to prevent tapping on the page from turning pages.

  • System tray icon: On windows if the calibre window is minimized, fix clicking on the system tray icon not restoring the window.
  • E-book viewer: Clear history when reloading the book, to avoid errors, since the locations pointed to by the history may no longer be valid anyway
  • Linux: Force use of GNOME button layout for dialogs when running under the GNOME, UNITY or MATE desktop environments
