Every Friday a new version of Caliber is released and today there is no deviation from it. Caliber is an open source and cross platform e-book management tool. Among other things, it can copy e-books to and from readers and convert them to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. It can also convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS to e-book format and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. In version 0.8.38 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• Implement the ability to automatically add books to caliber from a specified folder. Caliber can now watch a folder on your computer and instantly add any files you put there to the caliber library as new books. You can tell caliber which folder to watch via Preferences->Adding Books->Automatic Adding.
• Conversion: When automatically inserting page breaks, do not put a page break before a
  

  or

  tag if it is immediately preceded by another

  or

  tag.

• Driver for EZReader T730 and Pint-of-View PlayTab Pro
