2009. Video: Calibre - Linux/Ubuntu book collector
Calibre is a new free book collection software for Linux Ubuntu. It was started in 2006 by developer Kovid Goyal as a Linux application for converting different ebook formats to LRF - the format used by SONY reader and was called libprs500. This converter became wildly popular and was picked up and used by various publishing houses and content digitizers to produce the first generation of books in the LRF format. And in 2008 Kovid Goyal decided to transform the program to the full-featured e-book collection manager with graphical interface and renamed to Clibre. Using Calibre you can manage books, magazines, comics. Calibre is available in the Ubuntu Software Center, but before installation check that you downloaded the latest version (0.6). To install Calibre on Ubuntu and Linux Mint you need to execute the command line command that you can find in the Calibre for Linux manual. ***
