Na de bèta van verleden week is nu de stabiele uitgave van Calibre versie 2.0 uitgekomen. 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 programma kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten in e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. In versie 2.0 is onder meer overgestapt op Qt5 voor de gebruikersinterface en zijn er verbeteringen met Android-devices onder OS X.
