Verleden week was hoofdtontwikkelaar Kovid Goyal even op reis en daardoor was er geen nieuwe versie van Calibre verschenen, maar deze vrijdag is dat gewoon wel weer het geval. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-bookbeheerprogramma. Het kan onder andere alle relevante informatie en kaftafbeeldingen opzoeken, en e-boeken 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 in e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
