Software-update: Calibre 8.4
Versie 8.4 van Calibre is uitgekomen. Dit opensource e-bookbeheerprogramma is haast onmisbaar voor elke e-readerbezitter. Het kan onder meer alle relevante informatie en omslagafbeeldingen opzoeken, e-boeken bewerken en converteren om ze zo geschikt te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het programma kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van RSS-feeds omzetten in e-bookformaat en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Calibre is beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en macOS.
In versie 8 is onder meer de ondersteuning voor Kobo-e-readers flink verbeterd, wordt er van Piper gebruikgemaakt voor het omzetten van tekst naar spraak, wat veel natuurlijker moet klinken, en zijn er diverse verbeteringen aangebracht in de e-bookviewer. De changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.
