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.

The developers of FrostWire give high regard and respect to the GNU General Public License and consider it to be the ideal foundation of a creative and free enterprise market. FrostWire has evolved to replace LimeWire's BitTorrent core for that of Vuze, the Azureus BitTorrent Engine, and ultimately to remove the LimeWire's Gnutella core to become a 100% BitTorrent client that is simple to use. FrostWire allows any individual to share his/her content to millions of people right from his/her computer without any cost thanks to the BitTorrent P2P network.

Install Latest Calibre Library in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal/Ubuntu 12.04 Precise/Linux Mint 14/13

Calibre features divided into the following main categories:
  1. Library Management

  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:
  • New tool: "Polish books" that allows you to perform various automated cleanup actions on EPUB and AZW3 files without doing a full conversion.
  • Polishing books is all about putting the shine of perfection on your ebook files. You can use it to subset embedded fonts, update the metadata in the book files from the metadata in the calibre library, manipulate the book jacket, etc. More features will be added in the future. To use this tool, go to Preferences->Toolbar and add the Polish books tool to the main toolbar. Then simply select the books you want to be polished and click the Polish books button. Polishing, unlike conversion, does not change the internal structure/markup of your book, it performs only the minimal set of actions needed to achieve its goals. Note that polish books is a completely new codebase, so there may well be bugs, polishing a book backs up the original as ORIGINAL_EPUB or ORIGINAL_AZW3, unless you have turned off this feature in Preferences->Tweaks, in which case you should backup your files manually. You can also use this tool from the command line with ebook-polish.exe.
  • Driver for the Trekstor Pyrus Mini.
  • E-book viewer: Add an option to change the minimum font size.
  • PDF Output: Add support for converting documents with math typesetting, as described here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/typesetting_math.html
  • Column coloring/icons: Add more conditions when using date based columns with reference to 'today'.
Bug Fixes:
  • Transforming to titlecase - handle typographic hyphens in all caps phrases
  • Dont ignore file open events that occur before the GUI is initialized
  • News download: Handle feeds that have entries with empty ids
  • Fix a regression that broke using the template editor
  • Do not block startup while scanning the computer for available network interfaces. Speeds up startup time on some windows computers with lots of spurious network interfaces.

New Features:
  • Font embedding: Add support for the CSS 3 Fonts module, which means you can embed font families that have more that the usual four faces, with the full set of font-stretch and font-weight variations. Of course, whether the fonts actually show up on a reader will depend on the readers' support for CSS 3.
  • Sharing by email: Allow specifying an 'alias' or friendly name by which to identify each email recipient.
  • Embedding fonts: Allow adding ttf/otf font files to calibre directly to be used for embedding. That way the fonts do not have to be installed system wide. You can add a font to calibre via the 'Add fonts' button in the font chooser dialog for embedding fonts.
  • E-book viewer: Add the ability to rotate images to the popup image viewer.
  • Generate cover: Speedup searching the system for a font that can render special characters
  • A new custom font scanner to locate all fonts on the system. Faster and less crash prone that fontconfig/freetype
  • Font family chooser: Show the faces available for a family when clicking on the family
Bug Fixes:
  • Get Books: Fix eHarlequin and Kobo stores.
  • Kobo driver: Fix a bug that could cause the on device book matching to fail in certain circumstances.
  • Kobo driver: When using a SD card do not delete shelves that contain on books on the card (there might be books in the shelf in the main memory).
  • Workaround for bug in the windows API CreateHardLink function that breaks using calibre libraries on some networked filesystems.
  • Template editor: Use dummy metadata instead of blank/unknown values
  • Windows: abort setting of title/author if any of the books' files are in use. Results in less surprising behavior than before, when the title/author would be changed, but the on disk location would not.
