Download Caliber 0.9.7

Lead developer Kovid Goyal was there for a while from between and as a result, for the first time this year, there has been no new issue of Caliber this past weekend, but this time it’s just right again. 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. The changelog of release 0.9.7 looks like this:
