If you own an e book reader, Calibre is a must-have tool on your GNU/Linux desktop. It also updates the E-book Viewer components with a new button that lets users directly open the viewer help section in the Calibre user manual to the viewer controls and adds an entry in the Connect/Share menu to let you open the content server in a local browser when it’s running.Ī couple of bugs were fixed as well, such as failing OPDS feeds that contained non-ASCII content in the Content server and incorrect first letter partitioning when numeric collation of items that start with a number is enabled in the Tag browser.
