Download Caliber 2.28

No new version of Caliber was released last week, because lead developer Kovid Goyal sick was, but this week it just hit again. Caliber is an open source and cross platform ebook management program. Among other things, it can look up all relevant information and cover images, and convert e-books to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. Furthermore, the program can convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS feeds into e-book format. Books can also be purchased with Caliber at the well-known web stores. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New Features

• Conversion of all ebook formats to Microsoft Word (DOCX) files
  Supports conversion of text styles, images, lists, tables, embedded fonts, etc. Produces DOCX files compatible with Microsoft Word 2007 or newer. Note that this code is very new, so there will likely still be kinks that will be worked out in the coming weeks.
• Add keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left) to switch between virtual library tabs. Close tickets: 1453497†
• When sending email using GMX pause for five minutes between books, to prevent GMX from blocking the account. The delay can be configured via Preferences->Tweaks
