Download Caliber 7.5.1

Version 7.5 of Caliber has been released. This open source e-book management tool is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It can, among other things, look up all relevant information and cover images, and convert e-books to make them suitable for various types of e-readers. Furthermore, the program can convert newspapers, magazines and news articles into e-book format based on RSS feeds. Books can also be purchased with Caliber from well-known online stores.

In version 7.0 is the ability to add notes to, for example, authors and series, and is support for epub audiobooks added. Additional files can also be added to books, such as an alternative cover image, and Caliber now has its own trash can, which can be used instead of the one in the OS. The following changes and improvements have also been made in this second update:

New features

• Allow fine tuning the colors used in the caliber interface via Preference > Look & feel > Main interface > User interface colors.
  Note that caliber no longer follows system colors on Linux in light mode (the only place where it used to follow system colors). However, there is a convenient button in the manage colors dialog to import the system colors.
• Full text search window: Add actions to the context menu to open the book at the clicked on result. Also allow using the view book shortcut to open the currently selected search result. Closes tickets: 2052462.
• When showing the Full text search dialog, pre populate the search box with the contents of the main caliber search box if the main search box contains a simple search. Closes tickets: 2052460.
