Hi !

calibre is a free and open source e-book library management application
developed by users of e-books for users of e-books. It has a cornucopia
of features divided into the following main categories:
* Library Management
* E-book conversion
* Syncing to e-book reader devices
* Downloading news from the web and converting it into e-book form
* Comprehensive e-book viewer
* Content server for online access to your book collection
3 versions : Win / OSX / Linux


Release: 0.7.9 [17 Jul, 2010]
New Features

* New unified toolbar
"A new unified toolbar combines the old toolbar and device display, to save
space. Now when a device is connected, buttons are created in the unified
toolbar for the device and its storage cards. Click the arrow next to the
button to eject the device."
* Device drivers: Add option to allow calibre to automatically manage
metadata on the device in Preferences->Add/Save->Sending to device
* BibTeX output for catalogs. The list of books in calibre can now also be
output as a .bib file
* A new toolbar button to choose/create different calibre libraries. Be
careful using it if you also use custom columns.
* Support for the MiBuk

Bug Fixes

* MOBI metadata: Replace HTML entities in the title read from the MOBI file
* Conversion pipeline: Handle elements with percentage sizes that are
children of zero size parents correctly.
* Fix regression that made LRF conversion less robust
* FB2 Input: Handle embedded images correctly, so that EPUB generated from
FB2 works with Adobe Digital Editions.
* Fix regression that prevented old news from being deleted in the calibre
library if calibre is never kept running for more than an hour
* RTF Input: Fix handling of text align and superscript/subscripts
* Fix long series or publisher names causing convert dialog to become too
wide
* SONY driver: Fix handling of invalid XML databases with null bytes
* iTunes driver: Better series_index sorting
* Improved editing of dates for custom columns
* Linux USB scanner: Don't fail to start calibre if SYFS is not present.
Instead simply fail to detect devices
* Android driver: Show books on device if Aldiko is being used
* Upgrade to Qt 4.6.3 in all binary builds to ensure proper rendering of
the new toolbar icons
* Fix handling of entities in epub files by the epub-fix command
