Calibre is an eBook management software that is almost without equal, on any platform that runs it. A few years ago nobody could anticipate that eBooks will take our lives completely, but the rise of eBook readers and the fact that most books are cheaper in digital form, proves that it was inevitable for someone to take matters in his own hands and develop something that can actually manage an entire library.

Calibre features divided into the following main categories:

1. Library Management
2. E-book conversion
3. Syncing to e-book reader devices
4. Downloading news from the web and converting it into e-book form
5. Comprehensive e-book viewer
6. Content server for online access to your book collection

New Features:

• Edit book: A new tool to insert special characters into the text, available via Edit->Insert special character. Supports all unicode characters (over 60,000 of them).
• Edit book: When searching for text in the editor, center the found text on screen
• Driver for teXet TB-146SE.
• Edit book: Show tooltips in the File Browser for 'special' files, such as the cover, opf, ncx, etc.
• Edit book: When checking book, check for entries in the OPF whose mimetype does not match the file extension.

Bug Fixes:

• Edit book: Fix marking a file as titlepage not working if the opf does not contain a <guide> section.
• Edit book: Fix errors when working on HTML files that parse as valid XML, but do not have the correct XHTML namespace.
• Fix typing non-English characters using an input method (key composing) in the author/tags/etc fields in the metadata dialog not working.
• Edit book: Fix error when merging html files that include a currently opened file and a non-html file is also open
• Fix unnecessary error popup during shutdown if the wireless device driver is running and mdns de-registration fails.
• Add L´ and D´ as recognized articles when automatically computing sort strings for French.
• Edit book: Fix changing mimetypes in the opf file not being detected when closing the opf file or running any automated tool like Check Book
