The idea is to move away from storing books in Google Books and using its e-book reader on mobile and via a browser but still to be able to access my library from anywhere and to have have a book’s reading position synchronization ability, as it is in the Google Books mobile and browser readers. The program supports pretty much any format of importance, and ships with plenty of interesting features such as downloading metadata or covers from the Internet, setting up an ebook server, and more.I’m using Calibre for my e-books library management for many years, but until today always used its desktop version.Ī couple of days ago I found the Calibre Web project – the same library, working with the same database, but accessible via a browser. Backup and share functionality is available.Ĭalibre is a powerful ebook management software that lets you read, download, share, convert and sync ebooks.You can have the program connect to iTunes or a folder, and even set up email based sharing of ebooks.Calibe can run a (protected) server application that provides access to the ebook library from all computers with a web browser and Internet connection.Another interesting feature is the ability to fetch RSS news feeds which are then made available in epub format by default with the option to convert it into a different format.You can sync the selected ebooks, and even have them converted before they are pushed to the selected device. All that is needed for that is to connect a device, say an ebook reader or a smartphone, to the computer Calibre is running on, and selecting the program's sync feature afterwards.
The application's core functionality as an ebook management software is to let you manage your ebook collection, tag it with information for easier searching and filtering, convert it if necessary, and add to it using local or online sources.Ĭalibre may also be used to sync ebooks to devices. In fact, you can convert your whole library of ebooks in one fast operation using Calibre. This works for individual books, but also multiple bulks. You can turn any format listed under input, into any format listed under output using the software.
One of Calibre's features is that it lets you convert between formats. Other formats, zip and rar for instance, are supported as well.
