Calibre 2.54.0

calibre

Calibre is an open source e-book library management application that enables you to manage your e-book collection, convert e-books between different formats, synchronize with popular e-book reader devices, and read your e-books with the included viewer.

It acts as an e-library and also allows for format conversion, news feeds to e-book conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer.

Calibre's features include: library management; format conversion (all major ebook formats); syncing to e-book reader devices; fetching news from the Web and converting it into ebook form; viewing many different e-book formats, giving you access to your book collection over the internet using just a browser.

New features in Calibre 2.54.0:

Edit metadata in bulk dialog: Allow configuring the types of generated covers.
E-book viewer: Make the detection of note boundaries for popup footnotes a little more robust
E-book viewer: Add options to control the amount the mouse wheel and arrow keys scroll by in flow mode
When running the content server do not hide the main calibre window during shutdown until the content server has stopped. Show a shutting down message in the window so that the user knows what is happening.
Edit Book: Check Book: Add a check for empty links
DOCX Input: When the document has a Table of Contents created using the Word Table of Contents tool, keep a reference to it in the metadata. This is useful when converting to old style MOBI and you want to precisely control placement of the ToC.
