Calibre review

It is a Tablet computer feeling that has changed for the future of consumer technology. We are talking of course about Amazon's Kindle. See what we did there? You thought we would get all gushy about the iPad, again, don't you? But no, there are other gadgets that we admire. Kindle is the top of the list – and with Amazon now selling more eBooks than real books, it is a bona fide cultural phenomenon.

Although the Kindle have a sleek and tactile physical design and its interface is simplicity itself (functions that are very Apple-like) offers little comfort to those who need more power over their digital books. Collections on the Kindle are tags in everything but name. Upload files to your device can be a fiddly business, regardless of whether they are PDF documents or eBooks from rival stores.

It is there that caliber comes in. It is a digital book library for Windows, OS X or Linux that integrates with your ebook reader, whether it's a Kindle or one of its competitors. With built-in organization tool that uses the actual folders, conversion functions, and Download capabilities, it is a real blessing for your virtual library is a little unwieldy.

More than that, it is a must if you are a fan of free books. There are thousands out there. Calibre makes it easy to categorize them and transfer them to your Kindle with WiFi, email or direct USB connection, with a simple click.
