Versie 2.62 van Calibre is uitgekomen. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-bookbeheerprogramma.

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. Het programma wordt actief ontwikkeld en meestal verschijnt er om de andere week op vrijdag een nieuwe versie. Sinds versie 2.60 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
