Calibre 8.1 Boosts macOS Support, Adds FreeBSD Device Connectivity

「 On the platform support front, Calibre 8.1 introduces the ability to connect to devices on FreeBSD. For macOS users, several regressions introduced in version 8.0 have been corrected. These include the restoration of “calibre://” URL functionality and proper icon rendering in menus 」

Anyone have trouble with #Calibre 8 hanging on the first startup on Windows 11? If I click it so windows realizes it's hung, cancel it, and start again, it reliably starts on the second try. I can repro it reliably, but can't seem to find via a fix with my search fu.

Anyone who seriously tells me the fix is to use Linux instead is getting insta-blocked. 😝

En réponse à Michael Harley

@michaelharley I have built an Amazon-free reading workflow that I love!

📱 E-reader: PocketBook Verse Pro

✨ App: KOReader is amazing. This lets me sync reading status between my e-reader and Android and Linux devices! The sync server can be self-hosted.

📤 Transferring books can happen wirelessly (I email to the e-reader) or with calibre since you don't mind the cable. The calibre Web server might work well for you, too.

🚀 Bonus: I use The StoryGraph and Hardcover.app to track reading progress instead of Goodreads (owned by Amazon)! KOReader has Hardcover integration! Hardcover has a GraphQL API!

🤭 Maybe I will finish the blog post I started about this!

@dennyhenke
I think you have to look more specifically for the task or interest. Search #linux with said interest.

A lot of apps have been around forever so maybe don't get talked about much.
Like #calibre or lilypond, kicad, open scad.

I tend to just use #emacs for everything because I don't like lots of buttons and icons everywhere.
I don't use a mouse
That limits the things that solve my niches.

I use Mpd for my music player, it has so many front ends, including emacs. I even use emacs for my browser, or #nyxtbrowser or qute browser.
So I'm off in the woods with my outlier self and nobody wants to hear about that.

Calibre Ebook Manager Improves Support for Kobo E-Readers

A new version of Calibre, the Swiss-army knife for e-book management is out, and it brings some notable new features for e-bookworms to dig into. Calibre 8.0.1 boasts improved support for Kobo e-readers, with Calibre now equipped to natively edit, view and convert Kobo’s proprietary KEPUB file format to regular EPUB files for reading on non-Kobo devices and apps (like Calibre itself). Additionally, users of Kobo devices can now use Calibre to convert EPUB to KEPUB automatically when sending books across, saving time and hassle of first converting and then sending. I’ll admit, I hadn’t heard of KEPUB before writing :sys_more_orange:
