14 DAY TRIAL // Version 0.9.28 of the Ebook reader and management software Calibre was announced on April 12, marking a milestone for this amazing software.
The development of Calibre is going smoothly and less bugs and fixes remain with each edition. Even if it's still pretty far off from a 1.0 release, Calibre can be considered stable.
The biggest feature introduced in this version is the addition of Virtual libraries. Users will be able to open Calibre using just a subset of the books available in the general Library.
“For example, you might want to only work with books by a certain author, or books having only a certain tag. To use this feature, click the button labeled 'Virtual Library' to the left of the search bar,” reads the official announcement.
Highlights of Calibre 0.9.28:
• Users can now copy links in the book details panel by right clicking on them; • Support for the new Kobo Aura HD and firmware version 2.5.0 has been implemented; •Users can now right-click on a cover to view a full-size version; • Support has been added for Easy player cyber book e-touch and Droid 4 devices; • The size of the panels in the location view can be adjusted; • The handling of EPUB files, that contain images with non-ascii filenames, has been improved; • The Laser EB720 device with newer firmware is now detectable by Calibre; • Partial support has been added for hyperlinks.
A complete changelog can be found in the official announcement. You can also check out our review of Calibre.
