Extend the scope of your e-reader with Calibre
Technology is changing so fast it's hard to keep up with it. As fast as new products are coming on to the market, new software programs quickly follow. One of the latest technologies to quickly take hold has been e-book readers. E-book readers allow the download of electronic books, and, a simple user interface to read the books. Hundreds of thousands of free e-books are available through public domain at the Gutenberg Library project. Fortunately, Calibre, an e-book management software program helps manage your growing library.
Still fairly unknown with e-book downloaders, Calibre provides a management system that manages your books in any format that you wish. You can organize e-books alphabetically by author, alphabetically by title, by genre, by date downloaded, or, any other way that you wish to organize them. It also is a great way to backup the books on your e-reader.
One of the advantages of having Calibre is that it extends the use of your e-book reader. Presently, e-book readers can only store set amounts of data. If you read voraciously you may wish to buy the capability to store 3,000 books. However, that will cost you much more than a reader that can store 300 books. With Calibre, you can store as many books as you wish.
