calibre The calibre application is an open-source eBook reader and manager. calibre is the most complete platform for the management of electronic books, combining powerful features into an intuitive workspace.
With calibre, you will be able not only to open and read eBooks on your PC (magazines, newspapers, comics, etc.), but also to organize, edit, and convert electronic books of all major formats. Among the main features, the app includes a library manager, synchronization with standalone eBook readers, and content server for online access.
In order to keep your books organized and find what you want to read quickly, it is vital that they have accurate bibliographic data, such as author, title, publisher, publication date, covers, etc. If any of your books contains erroneous information, you can use the Edit Metadata command to modify the information related to one or several selected items. It's possible to update these details automatically too, in which case the application will connect to the web to obtain the desired information.
eBook conversion is also possible with this tool; the integrated converter will let you not only change an eBook format, but also modify several other aspects of it, such as its look and feel, page setup, heuristic process, among many other options. It has the ability to convert one or multiple eBooks in one single step and can output into 17 formats, including MOBI, EPUB, PDF, LIT, PRC, and AZW.
calibre also stands out as a powerful editor, enabling you to modify the contents of EPUB and AZW3 books completely, just as if you were working with a word processor. With the editor you will be able to add or delete text, for example, modify the fonts style and size, as well as insert images, files, hyperlinks, and tags. Changes can be immediately seen in the live previewer before processing the files.
All that said, it is obvious that calibre is an excellent tool to manage eBook collections of all sizes. It would be impossible to describe all its functions in one review, but I'll sum it up by saying it is the best eBook manager out there.
