For many independent writers, one of the most difficult aspects of self-publishing is ensuring that readable versions of their manuscripts make it into the hands of readers. Calibre, an open source (i.e. free) ebook library management system makes the process of digitizing books a little easier.

Calibre began back back in October 2006 โ€“ it just turned 10! โ€“ and was created by Kovid Goyal in order to make text files readable on ereaders. Since its early days, calibre has grown and changed quite a bit in order to process new file formats for new types of ereaders. As of November 1, over 3 million calibre users have employed the application in the last 60 days. For many writers, calibre is a necessary tool.

Other than convert files what does calibre do?

  • It manages ebook collections, and can sort ebooks by Title, Author, Date added, Date Published, Rating Seriesโ€ฆ
