If Calibre, the popular open-source ebook manager, was a book itself it’d surely be a perennial bestseller, thanks to an exhaustive, multi-faceted feature set.
And in the latest Calibre 7 release, the feature set expands yet further. The latest version introduces a clutch of new capabilities to the manager’s existing roster of ebook conversion, syncing, reading, and editing options.
The standout addition in Calibre 7.0 is the ability to store notes linked to various book attributes within your Calibre library. You can stash notes related to authors, publishers, book series, and more so you can keep track of information relevant to you.
The notes are exactly what I’ve been needing to keep a chronological list of a specific author’s books, as he published them in a different order to that of the actual events. This is now allowing me to keep that reference on hand as I push the nest book through to my e-reader.
Calibre 7 also lets you attach “data” files relevant to a book with that book, and manage and access said data within the app. What kind of data? Well, that’s up to you, but it might be PDFs, web links, office documents/essays, images, etc.
These are really some substantial updates to the Calibre app.
