Calibre is a free and open source e-book management tool that allows one to organise, save and manage e-books, in and between a variety of formats. It also supports e-book syncing with a variety of popular e-book readers. Calibre is cross-platform (programmed in Python and C) and is intended for the three main operating system structures, GNU/Linux, OS X and Windows.
Calibre goes through a rapid development cycle, and chooses to incrementally fix bugs and increase the number of features available. Its current version is 0.6.8. Calibre uses both Trac and Launchpad for bug management. Calibre is primarily a e-book cataloguing program.
It is designed around the concept of the logical book, where a single database entry corresponds with the same book in a variety of formats.
