Features and Highlights
Save time on managing your e-book collection
Calibre’s user interface is designed to be as simple as possible. Large buttons in the main window take care of most of your needs. The vast number of calibre’s features and options is always clearly displayed under intuitive tabs. Its context menus are neatly sorted, so the things you’re looking for almost find themselves on their own. You’re never more than three clicks away from your goal. It’s the result of years of tweaking calibre’s interface based on users’ feedback. Plus, you can change many aspects of how the program looks and feels and try one of the three built-in library views to browse your book collection using covers, titles, tags, authors, publishers, etc.
Use it everywhere and with anything
This software supports almost every single e-Reader and is compatible with more devices with every update. You can transfer your e-books from one device to another in seconds, wirelessly or with a cable. And you don’t need any additional tools to do that. The program will send the best file format for your device converting it if needed, automatically.
Comprehensive e-book viewer
This tool has a built-in e-book viewer that can display all the major e-book formats. It has full support for Table of Contents, bookmarks, CSS, a reference mode, printing, searching, copying, multi-page view, embedded fonts, and on and on…
Download news/magazines from the web
Calibre 64bit version can make sure you know what’s happening and automatically deliver stories to your device from hundreds of news sources like The Economist, New York Times, New Yorker Magazine, The Guardian, BBC News, National Geographic, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Wired Magazine, The Telegraph, Forbes, Ars Technica…
Share and backup your library easily
The program comes with a handy web server to host your library. In just a few moments you can safely share all (or just some) of your e-books with anyone you choose or access them yourself from anywhere, using any device you like. With the server, you can read the books in your library on any phone/tablet using just a browser. It even works offline.
Edit the books in your collection
For the e-book nerds amongst you, the software has a built-in editor that allows you to edit e-books in the most popular e-book formats, EPUB and Kindle. The editor has many sophisticated features to make editing the innards of e-books as easy and efficient as possible.
Satisfy every e-book need and get support
It’s unlikely, but if you find out there’s a feature you need but the program lacks it, you can use the built-in plugin explorer. Many users develop plugins to enhance and expand calibre’s features. You can browse through hundreds of plugins directly from the software and install them with just one click.

Calibre 7.16.0
New features:
- Add a driver for the new 2024 Tolino devices. They use a modified version of the Kobo firmware, so they are detected as Kobo devices.
- Various news recipes now have the ability to download past issues, accessible via the Advanced tab in the Schedule news dialog
Fixed:
- ONLY if you use the calibre Content server, you should update calibre as soon as possible
- If you do not know what the Content server is, you do not use it, and these do not apply to you. If you have set a password to access the Content server that you have not shared with anyone, these do not affect you. A remote code execution bug in the Content server introduced in calibre version 6.9.0 (released on 2022-11-25) means that anyone with access to the server also has access to the rest of the computer the server is running on. If you are using a password to protect access to the server only people that know the password can gain access via the bug. Thanks to STAR Labs (https://starlabs.sg) for finding these vulnerabilities.

- Content server: Fix an XSS vulnerability in one endpoint
- Only relevant if you embed the calibre server within a larger server, it means attackers who can convince users to click on a specially crafted link, can run JavaScript code with the same origin as the larger server calibre is embedded in.

- macOS: Fix opening multiple books from Finder with the editor only opening one of the books
