Download Caliber 0.8.44

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 0.8.44 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• E-book viewer: A whole new full screen mode, with no toolbars to distract from the text and the ability to set the width of the column of text via Preferences in the ebook viewer.
• Copy to Library: If books were auto merged by the copy to library process, popup a message telling the user about it, as otherwise some people forget they have turned on auto merge and accuse caliber of losing their books.
• Unix driver for Ectaco JetBook color
• Add a link to the ‘Adding Books Preferences’ in the drop down menu of the Add Books button for easier access and more prominence
• Smarten punctuation: Add a few more cases for detecting opening and closing quotes

Bug Fixes

• Get Books: Updates to various store plugins to deal with website changes: Amazon Europe, Waterstones, Foyles, B&N, Kobo, Woblink and Empik
• Catalog generation: Do not error out when generating csv/xml catalogs if the catalog title contains filename invalid characters.

• MOBI Input: Fix regression caused by KF8 support that broke reading of ancient non-Amazon PRC files
