Software-update: Calibre 2.45

Versie 2.45 van Calibre is uitgekomen. In het verleden kwam er elke week op vrijdag een nieuwe release uit, tegenwoordig is het minder vaak en deze keer zat er zelfs een maand tussen. 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. Ook kunnen met Calibre boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Sinds versie 2.42 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
