Vrijdag is er weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre verschenen. Dit opensource- en crossplatform-beheerprogramma voor e-books kan onder andere e-books tussen de diverse bestandsformaten converteren, om ze zo beschikbaar te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het ook nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss omzetten naar e-bookformaat en is er een viewer waarmee e-books op de computer kunnen worden gelezen. Sinds versie 0.8.22 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Release: 0.8.24
