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 0.7.57 uitgekomen, want versie 0.7.55 is verleden week wegens enkele problemen kort daarop door 0.7.56 opgevolgd.

Release: 0.7.56
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- This is primarily a bug fix release that fixes a bug in 0.7.55 that caused calibre to rescan the files on the device every time the device is connected. If you updated to 0.7.55 it is highly recommended you update to 0.7.56
- Device driver for Coby Kyros
- Remove the quick access to search options from next to the search bar, as we now have a separate search highlights toggle button

Improved news sources
