Most other e-book management software is tied to some proprietary e-book ecosystem or the other. In reply to a query, Goyal says: “calibre has no significant competitors. There are also ‘recipes’, which are small programs written in Python-based, domain-specific languages. Online content-sources can be ‘harvested’ and converted into e-books. You can ‘sideload’ e-books into your calibre library, or wirelessly sync your cloud storage service with an e-book reading device. It is possible to search a calibre library using various fields - author, title or keywords. Metadata (which is used to identify e-books) can be ‘pulled’ in from different book related sources, online. You can sort and group e-books by their metadata fields. With its versatile nature, calibre allows you to do a lot of thing with your e-books. Along with all this comes the bonus of support.

It promises a lot - saving of time while managing your e-book collection, the ability to “use it everywhere and with anything,” a comprehensive e-book viewer, the possibility to download news and magazines from the Web, the option to back up and share your library easily, and a chance to even edit books in your collection.

It’s also completely free and open source, and great for both casual users and computer experts.” calibre is described as “a powerful and easy-to-use e-book manager.” It’s a tool that will “allow you to do nearly everything and it takes things a step beyond normal e-book software. “Most of calibre’s major features are unique to it,” Kovid points out. So, what would he rate as calibre’s unique contribution to the brave new world of e-books, a phenomenon which is hardly over a decade old?

The calibre community has supported me working on it full time, ever since,” he told this magazine, with a clear sense of accomplishment.
But, with the support of my wife and with my fingers very much crossed, after graduating, I took the plunge and have never looked back since. “It was still very much a leap into the unknown for me, as I had always envisaged a career as an academic before then. It was when he returned home to India - he’s based in Mumbai - to get married, that he renamed libprs500 to calibre and decided to “get more serious about doing it full time.” So Goyal began to seriously consider doing this on a full-time basis. As the book phenomenon took off, that income grew and libprs500 usage also started shooting through the roof.” Goyal continues reminiscing, “In the initial stages, it created enough income for me to afford one pizza a week, which was very welcome as a grad student. Since libprs500 seemed to have a fair number of fans, I decided to put up a small ‘Donate’ button on its website,” Goyal told OpenSource magazine in an interview. “This was accomplished with the help of the fine folks over at and calibre was born, albeit named libprs500. So he decided to reverse engineer the USB protocol that it used, to get it working on FOSS (free and open source software). And, the PRS-500 did not work at all with GNU/Linux, his operating system of choice. Let’s hear the story in Goyal’s words: “calibre started life on October 31, 2006, soon after the release of the Sony PRS-500, the first e-ink based reader to be sold commercially in the US.”Īt the time, Goyal was a graduate student with a lot of time on his hands. Other languages include French (99.9 per cent), Swedish (96.4 per cent), German (86.3 per cent), Zulu and Xhosa (barely 0.3 per cent complete, but at least it’s being done), besides many more.Īttempts are being made, with varying degrees of success, to translate it into Telugu, Sinhala, Pushto, Malayalam, Bengali, Hindi (only 3.2 per cent complete), Gujarati, Kannada (34.1 per cent), Tamil (38.9 per cent), Punjabi (38.2 per cent) and Marathi (39.3 per cent), among the languages of South Asia.
Spanish and Ukrainian translations are both 100 per cent complete. I don’t advertise the fact that I am Indian, I guess.”Ĭalibre (spelt as calibre, without a capital letter) has, or is, being translated into about 106 languages worldwide. How come so few recognise that this product has been made by an Indian (or at least, led by one)?” So the first question I, almost accusingly, asked Kovid Goyal was, “I am hugely impressed by what calibre has accomplished. It might seem a bit strange that Indians are barely aware that this excellent software, which so many around the world use, has been created by a desi.
