Among other things, it can look up all relevant information and cover images and convert ebooks to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. It can also convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS feeds into e-book format, and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. In version 1.4, the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• Column icons: Allow the use of multiple icons with column icon rules.
  You can now have column icon rules display multiple icons in a single column, side by side. There are two ways to do this, either specify multiple icons when creating the rule, or create multiple rules that match the same book and specify the icon type to be ‘composed’ for every rule. See Preferences->Look & Feel->Column icons for details.
