Last Friday, as usual, a new version of Caliber was released. This open source and cross platform e-book management program can, among other things, convert e-books between the various file formats to make them available for the various types of e-readers. Furthermore, it can also convert RSS-based news articles to e-book format and there is a viewer with which e-books can be read on the computer. In version 0.8.27, support has been added for the new tablets from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among other things.
