What's New
Version 0.8.53:
New Features:
- Kindle Touch/4 driver: Upload cover thumbnails when sending books to device by USB to workaround Amazon bug of not displaying covers for sync-enabled books
- Support for updating metadata in FB2 files
- Set a different background color when choosing formats to not delete as opposed to choosing format to delete. Closes tickets: 1001741
- E-book viewer: Add an option to prevent the up and down arrow keys from scrolling past page breaks
- Get Books: Remove ebookshoppe.com at the website's request
- PDF Input: Support image rotation commands in PDF files. Fixes the long standing problem of some images being flipped when converting from PDF in calibre.
- Fix a regression in 0.8.51 that caused conversion to HTMLZ to not have any CSS
- Get Books: Fix website change at kobo.com causing prices not to be found
- Edit the time in the 24 hour clock when calibre's interface language is set to German. Closes tickets: 1001809
- MOBI Output: When generating joint KF8/MOBI6 .mobi files set the text length field in the MOBI 6 header correctly. Closes tickets: 1003489
- ODT Input: More workarounds for LibreOffice 3.5's habit of inserting pointless margin:100% directives everywhere. Closes tickets: 1002702
- Fix regression that broke smarten punctuation when quotes were next to html tags. Closes tickets: 998900
- Fix published date from ozon.ru wrong in some timezones. Closes tickets: 975338
- Catalogs: Handle the use of custom columns with non-ascii names correctly. Closes tickets: 1001437
- Conversion pipeline: Remove the attempt to detect and autocorrect if text will go off the left edge of the page, as it was a rather crude heuristic. Also do not remove fake margins if the book uses negative text indents on the margined elements.
- KF8 Output: Set offsets to tags in the skeleton the same way kindlegen does. Also linearize non linear ToCs to ensure section to section jumping works.
- Conversion pipeline: Use correct default value of 'inherit' for font-family and font-size when normalizing the shorthand font property.
- When running python scripts via calibre-debug ensure that user plugins are loaded

Here is the problem I have, which I haven't seen mentioned here: my Mac slow down and acts erratically when Calibre is open. For example, even the Finder exhibits long delays in selecting, moving, trashing, copying.
Is it just me having this problem?

It works, but the options and the manual is almost impossible to understand.
Anyway, if I need to get a Mobi file out of an epub file, without any specifics, that'll do.

On the other hand, I just want to say I began experience UPGRADE FATIGUE with regard to calibre maybe a year or two ago.
Seeing these constant updates makes me on one level wish calibre didn't exist at all.
Maybe the software release team could consolidate milestones into a PLANNED release cycle that update once (or twice at most) per quarter?
Thanks for considering.

Some people prefer getting at least bug fixes as quickly as possible instead of having them withheld longer to comply with a strict release schedule (which happens with plenty of other software, including OS X).

If you haven't looked recently, you might be surprised (as I was) to find that prices in the iBookstore are now mostly better than the same books in Kindle format. Used to be the other way around, but it seems Amazon was selling ebooks at a loss to establish market dominance, and now that they've pretty much done that, they've jacked all the prices way up. I typically save about $3 buying from the iBookstore instead of Amazon.

However, to call it a "one-stop solution for all e-book needs" is - mildly put - an exaggeration. calibre would need at least the option to organize books in categories to qualify as a one-stop solution. Moreover, I wish there were also columns for "Read", "Rating", and "Comments". Are these features possibly in the pipeline?
Four and a half stars, anyway!

Do a search by, say, "Fantasy", and if your tags are in there properly, you can then "Save" a search (top right of the interface) to instantly filter by that saved search.
Calibre is built to be cross platform, so it doesn't cater to just one environment paradigm. It is a data system, so you have to think just little more like using a database instead of a media manager like say iTunes. Most of what you are asking for can be done, you just have to learn how to do it. Though Calibre could be a little more friendly about it.

When your library is big, this software has a very slow startup. Just to make things clear, iTunes is not that slow, which means that the Apple guys are doing a smart job than Claibre developers.
The visual interface is terrible, terrible.
But nevermind. If only they could fix the save to disk stuff I would make a small donation in sign of gratitude.

"calibre has a builtin web server that gives allows you to access your ebook collection using a simple browser from any computer anywhere in the world. It can also email your books and downloaded news to you automatically."
In order to turn server on or off, requires admin rights I believe.
