![]() E-books can then be exported to all supported reading devices via USB, Calibre's integrated mail server, or wirelessly. This conversion is facilitated by so-called recipes, short programs written in a Python-based domain-specific language. Also, online content can be harvested and converted to e-books. Į-books can be imported into the Calibre library, either by sideloading files manually or by wirelessly syncing an e-book reading device with the cloud storage service in which the Calibre library is backed up, or with the computer on which Calibre resides. Full text search is available from Calibre 6.0 onwards. It is possible to search the Calibre library by various fields, such as author, title, or keyword. Metadata can be pulled from many different sources, e.g., online booksellers and providers of free e-books and periodicals in the US and elsewhere, such as the Internet Archive, Munsey's Magazine, and Project Gutenberg and social networking sites for readers, such as Goodreads and LibraryThing. Ĭalibre allows users to sort and group e-books by metadata fields. Calibre does not natively support DRM removal, but may allow DRM removal after installing plug-ins with such a function. Conversion and editing are easily applied to appropriately licensed digital books, but commercially purchased e-books may need to have digital rights management (DRM) restrictions removed. Most e-book formats can be edited, for example, by changing the font, font size, margins, and metadata, and by adding an auto-generated table of contents. Features Ĭalibre supports many file formats and reading devices. In 2008, the program, for which a graphical user interface was developed, was renamed "calibre", displayed in all lowercase. With support from the MobileRead forums, Goyal reverse-engineered the proprietary Broad Band eBook ( BBeB) file format. On 31 October 2006, when Sony introduced its PRS-500 e-reader, Kovid Goyal started developing libprs500, aiming mainly to enable use of the PRS-500 formats on Linux. Books in other formats like MOBI must first be converted to those formats, if they are to be edited. Editing books is supported for EPUB and AZW3 formats. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers. Please note that you don't have to download these plugins from the MobileRead forum, the easiest way is to install them directly from inside Calibre, where this task can be performed from a nice and handy graphical interface.Calibre ( / ˈ k æ l ɪ b ər/, stylised calibre) is a cross-platform free and open-source suite of e-book software.

Kobo e-readers have two different readers inside (I mean "reader" as a software here), one is used for standard ePub files while the other has some different features and is used for Kepubs. ![]() epub books you are sending to the device with the particular format used by Kobo, called. Kobo Touch Extended Driver: It replaces the standard Kobo device driver shipped with Calibre, its main feature is to optimize the.It works perfectly with any ereader device, without the need to add anything, but I suggest to you a couple of plugins that are specifically aimed at Kobo users, that can be useful to have: One of its strengths is the opportunity to add plugins to extend its functionalities. There isn't anything easier than this -)Īnyway for a more complete management, I suggest you to try Calibre, it is a superb ebook manager itself with a ton of features also, it is free and opensource and it is available for Linux systems too, if these are things that are relevant for you. ![]() epub files to the reader, you can simply connect it to your computer with an USB cable, it will be treated like an external USB storage drive you can simply copy your books on the reader (maybe on a new sub-directory to keep things clean and neat) and when you disconnect it, it will update the database and recognize your new books.
