Calibre is een e-book-managementprogramma en kan overweg met bijna alle soorten e-books en e-readers. Het maakt het onder andere mogelijk om e-books te converteren tussen de diverse formaten om op deze manier e-books beschikbaar te maken op alle platformen. Daarnaast kan het ook nieuwsartikelen op basis van RSS omzetten naar e-bookformaat en op deze manier nieuws beschikbaar maken op e-readers. Calibre wordt intensief ontwikkeld en elke week verschijnt er weer een nieuwe versie. Vrijdag is versie 0.7.47 uitgekomen en deze kent het volgende changelog:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Tag Browser: Support the creation of nested User Categories. See here for details
- Disable Kent District Library plugin to download series information. The website could not handle the load calibre's 2 million users put on it. You can manually re-enable it if you really want series information, but it is very slow
- Drivers for the Wexler T7001, Archos 7, Wink and Xperia X10
- Comic Input: Add option to not add links to individual pages to the Table of Contents when converting CBC files
- EPUB Output: Try to ensure that the cover image always has an id='cover' to workaround Nook cover reading bug.
- ODT input: Update odfpy library to latest version, adds support for bookmarks
- EPUB Output: Remove unnecessary CSS page breaks as they confuse the latest release of iBooks
New news sources
- Fix regression in 0.7.46 that broke creating date and composite custom columns
- Linux binary build: Fix ImageMagick trying to load system modules instead of bundled modules
- Kobo driver: Handle missing firmware version file
- ODT Input: Do not force the background color to white.
- MOBI Input: Do not speciy text-align for every paragraph. Fixes text-align inheritance issues for newer MOBIs with nested divs.

- Content server: Fix regression that broke browsing User Categories via OPDS
