Download Caliber 0.9.11

Also this weekend a new version of Caliber is ready. 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. Below are the changes and improvements made this week.

New Features

• When connecting to MTP devices such as the Kindle Fire HD or the Nook HD, speed up the process by ignoring some folders.
  Caliber will now ignore folders for music, video, pictures, etc. when scanning the device. This can substantially speed up the connection process if you have thousands of non-ebook files on the device. The list of folders to be ignored can be customized by right clicking on the device icon in caliber and selecting ‘Configure this device’.
• Allow changing the icons for categories in the Tag Browser. Right click on a category and choose ‘Change category icon’.
• Allow setting the color of all columns with a single rule in Preferences->Look & Feel->Column Coloring
• MOBI: When reading metadata from mobi files, put the contents of the ASIN field into an identifier named mobi-asin. Note that this value is not used when downloading metadata as it is not possible to know which (country specific) amazon website the ASIN comes from.

Bug Fixes

• Windows build: Fix a regression in 0.9.9 that caused caliber to not start on some windows system that were missing the VC.90 dlls (some older XP systems)
• Kobo driver: Workaround for invalid shelves created by bugs in the Kobo server
• Metadata download: Fix cover downloading from non-US amazon sites broken by a website change.
