Zoals bijna elke vrijdag is er vandaag weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre verschenen. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-bookbeheerprogramma. Het kan onder andere e-boeken van en naar readers kopiëren en ze converteren om ze geschikt te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten naar e-bookformaat en er kunnen boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Het changelog van release 0.8.65 ziet er als volgt uit:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- A new wireless device driver. This allows connecting wirelessly to a device running a 'smart' calibre client
The wireless connection functions just as if the device was plugged into the computer by USB cable. Currently, Android devices are supported. See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.multipie.calibreandroid [External link]- MOBI Output: Add an option to control the type of MOBI file produced, to the MOBI Output conversion options. You can now generate an old MOBI6, a new KF8 or a joint MOBI6/KF8 file. By default, MOBI6 files are generated. This replaces the previous use of a tweak.
- E-book viewer: Make paged mode the default. You can go back to the old flow mode by clicking the button with the yellow scroll in the top right corner of the viewer.
- Driver for COBY kYROS MID7042 and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5839i
