Download Caliber 0.9.00
Version 0.9 of Caliber was released on Friday. Caliber is an open source and cross platform ebook management program. 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 feeds to e-book format, and books can be purchased from well-known web stores.
Version 0.9 does not really contain new features, but should be seen as a milestone to round out the new features introduced over time in version 0.8, such as an improved e-book reader, support for Android devices and a portable implementation of the programme. The changelog also lists the usual amount of bug fixes and new or improved access to magazines.
