As of this writing, the latest version of Calibre is 3.2.1 however I am running an older 2.5 version on my Raspberry Pi. The default software is used to manage the entire ebook collection however for the Raspberry Pi, I am only interested in the Content Server. Satisfy every e-book need and get support.Save time on managing your e-book collection.It’s also completely free and open source and great for both casual users and computer experts. It’ll allow you to do nearly everything and it takes things a step beyond normal e-book software. Users say it’s outstanding and a must-have. From the Calibre websiteĬalibre is a powerful and easy to use e-book manager. Additionally, it lets you edit ePubs to fix any errors or typos, edit covers, sort your books by their series and numbers, edit tags to find them easily among many other helpful features. It lets you manage your entire collection from a nice clean interface in various formats (ePub, PDF, mobi) AND it provides you with a content server that allows your collection to be downloaded to your devices over wireless. I have a spare Raspberry Pi with an old HDD so I figured why not just set up a digital library so I can load up my novels, magazines, RPG manuals, game rulebooks to my devices over the WiFi.Ĭalibre, a cross platform ebook manager, has been my go-to software for managing my books for years now. Sure you can load them up on iTunes and transfer it to your iPad but that won’t work with an Android device. It’s even more so of a pain when you want to share the books with others or load them up to your devices. Anyone with a sprawling collection of e-books know that managing them manually can be a real pain.
