Exploring Open Source # 1: Calibre E-book Library

Kindle may be the # 1 platform to build your e-book collection.

But what if you have plenty of PDF, ePub and mobi books lying around in your devices? Downloaded from Gutenberg or by signing up for your favourite mailing list?

Are you tired of switching from device to device to read different material? Isn't it annoying that the highlights you created inside a book on one device aren't available on another device?

Enter Calibre.
Move all your randomly and repetitively stored e-books from your different devices into a single safe book library online. Calibre is an open-source e-book shelf and reader.

  • Never lose an e-book. Stop wasting your precious time searching. Calibre makes your e-books available to you anywhere, anytime to all your devices from a single place online.

  • Stop fiddling with different apps for different book formats. All you need is your browser. For ePub, mobi & several e-book formats. Customise the appearance to make reading pleasing and less strainful.

  • Read when offline. When you start reading a book, Calibre stores it offline.
