>>>>> Greatest ebook management software ever! I bought 4 different ebook management softwares just to get the best, and Calibre turned to be the best and free
One of the things I really like about Calibre is that you can use it to edit a book. I’ve created books in another program that have needed small tweaks so I just open the epub up in Calibre, tweak the content, save and the revised ebook replaces the faulty one. I can then go to the file in the Calibre library folder and use it however I want. Perfect.
Thanks for uploading this. I've been searching through the tutorials on UA-cam and found yours to be the best. Straight to the point and correct. Think you can do a video about Calibre plugins?
Thank you for the video, love using it to upload books to my Kindle, rather than sending them through an email (yes, that's how it used to get your non-amazon e-books into your Kindle, and it always lacked the book cover), so thanks again.
Great review. Calibre takes a while to learn how to use it, but its well worth it. Such a great product to offer free. Its the best format converter i have used.
hi, how can I convert a book from pdf to epub without losing the format it had being pdf, because what happen is that I try but the resultant epub is not as organized as the pdf was, please if you know give me a touch here.
Nice, thank you. Wish you had covered a bit of editing and book management capabilities. For example, I have an app that allows me to select a collection of mp3 music files and populate their metadata automatically. From that point, I can rename the files to include some of the metadata...
Can anyone tell me if this is the way to go for some type of virtual graphic/horror book? I do my own art work so i would like to have that included ? Just need some info thanks.
Great overview...thank you....I immediately thought of Android Tablets...I will search to see if available for that platform...The news feature is awesome
i'm so happy and grateful for you to do this video that really help me to finally able to read my eBooks, and even convert them... marvellous, thanks so much!
When i first started using Calibre and I download a book it would automatically show up in my Calibre program and I would just hit convert and convert it into a epub. When I download a book now it opens up in the editing window and I have to hit add book and go to my recent downloads and double click it from there to get it into my library before I can convert it. It used to show the cover of book but now has the icon with a blue book with a wrench across the book. Not sure what changed. It happened quite a few updates ago. Can you help me out with this problem??
there isn't a software harder to use than this. I wrote myself some notes as to how to use it. And I did manage to use it before. But just now, don't remember the procedure even w/ the step by step I wrote I am trying to convert simplified chinese to traditional chinese, and supposedly, I pick "EDIT book" and then "Convert", but I just can't find the Convert button
Do you have or did you make a video on user categories and other utilities of Calibre? It would be awesome. I'm a programmer and I get extremely confused by Calibre GUI xD
Hi i have a greater problem... please help .... When I download any book in Epub format from 3party websites and then convert it to Mobi by Calibre... after sending it to Kindle .... the PAGE COUNT is showing WRONG.... for example there should be 300 pages, but it is shown near 2500 pages... and when I turn pages... each time it is turning like 7-9 pages forward.... how can i correct that issue which is frustrating and pissing me off??? .
I want to change the default toolbar that is seen when i open a book. I want the changes i made to be the same for every book i open so i don't got to do it all over again.
Hi, can anyone help please. My Calibre Library has overnight gone from being a list of books to actual pics of books with Title, cover pic etc. I haven’t a clue how to get back my list format - I’m 78 and not terribly techie! I have used Calibre happily for about 8 years and this has never happened before. Thanks in advance for any advice. x
When I import a book from my local drive (say, F: ovels\SherlockHolmes.epub), and my library was created in G:\Elib), will it copy the document itself (i.e occupy twice the space) or just establish a file handle pointing to the original document?
I just checked my ebook folder which is 1.5 GB, and the Calibre output folder is 400 MB. So all I can say right now is that it will add about a third of your actual ebook collection size.
I have a very specific question, I converted all pdfs and epug files to mobi, so that I can read them on my kindle using Calibre. But no images were kept inside the pages of the books.. is there a solution to this?
Just goes to show that the tutorial above is not comprehensive or complete. Almost all the videos on this subject lack one or the other functionality of this wonderful software.
Hey,I loved calibre and ur intro!! One thing that I had a trouble with is that across chapters the calibre reader has a paged flow like as I am about to read the last few lines of a chapter and scroll a little it changes to the next page...any way to circumvent that??Thanks btw
Is there anything currently better than this? I don't care if I have to pay for it, I just won't subscribe. I ask because once I invest my time in it, you'll need to move mountains to get me elsewhere.
Can I just say, I absolutely hate Calibre. It has changed all my Word files so that every time I try to open them, I have to do so through their god awful software that looks like it was made in the 1980s. It is possibly the most un-userfriendly software I have ever used and I can`t get it off my computer. Use an alternative and save yourself the hassle of this shit on the sole of the devil`s shoe.
Every time I convert a pdf in caliber, the ePub shows duplicates of my cover. When I delete one, they both disappear, and then the first text page ends up duplicating. So frustrating. Any idea what the problem is?

i'm currently on the run from the FBI fpr stealing this software
can you use it with kindle? if so does it work exactly the same as the kindle store? thanks

Thank you for the video, love using it to upload books to my Kindle, rather than sending them through an email (yes, that's how it used to get your non-amazon e-books into your Kindle, and it always lacked the book cover), so thanks again.
I’ve never had a book cover missing when sending to kindle. It’s literally the easiest way to transfer books. Kobo needs Calibre though.
Your video is very helpful for me. Thank you so much. May God continue to bless you.
Great review. Calibre takes a while to learn how to use it, but its well worth it. Such a great product to offer free. Its the best format converter i have used.
Most of my Epubs are not being received in my Kindle (it says they are 0 bytes).... Any idea what that is?
Finally a video that SHOWS what I want to know.
Thanks, a lot.
When my books save to my library they are in author order. Can Insave them in title order? And how?
is there a way to put books in different "folders" so they are not all on one list?
I am wondering that too

Does that get news feature really work? Can you get free downloads of daily NYT or WSJ publications?
Which format should the book be in if one wants to put it on Amazon?
I read that Calibre can convert PDFs to ePubs. I’m curious as to what that’s like.
I'm here because I'm planning to buy Kindle and I want to know all the what-nots. :)
Thank you for this! ❤️And yeah that would be great to know how to create one's own book . Looking forward to the video!

I have about 600 books. Does Calibre have a folder system? Or is it only a list view?
Thank you!!

Would you please do a video about the text-to-speech feature if Caliber has it?
Hello from Moscow! Thanks! Like!
Does it have an animation when you change the page?
Will my free ebooks sync on different kindle apps using Calibre
Could I setup Calibre so that it uses Okular as default ebook-Reader?
How do I highlight text using the new Calibre?
When I import a book from my local drive (say, F:
ovels\SherlockHolmes.epub), and my library was created in G:\Elib), will it copy the document itself (i.e occupy twice the space) or just establish a file handle pointing to the original document?

Great starter but does anyone know how to download books via URL?
Wow amazing!
Hey t j free I have a question do you want make a video about video game apps on a laptop and deck top computer too
Hi Cameron. That's a great idea. I'll see what I can do!
Ok thank
This is a great guide
Awesome ! Thanks for the video.
can it convert books that where initially made on word to the format?
Good question. Yes it can.
Just goes to show that the tutorial above is not comprehensive or complete. Almost all the videos on this subject lack one or the other functionality of this wonderful software.
great and succinct guide! thank you :)
Hey,I loved calibre and ur intro!! One thing that I had a trouble with is that across chapters the calibre reader has a paged flow like as I am about to read the last few lines of a chapter and scroll a little it changes to the next page...any way to circumvent that??Thanks btw
I believe you can tweak this thing in the settings. there's an option in page layout to view the segments through scrolling or however you like
Where is the way to just write a book software?? Downloaded before nothing.😢
How i can display page number while reading now it shows as percentage??
How to open an Android tablet Electronic Books ?

If a book is free for download, could it be from a dodge website that spread virus?
how do i open pdf file in kindle app
calibre 3.48 how to highlight text
I thought this was an option to write an actual book.
Use Sigil
If it’s free, why does Calibre ask for a credit card?
Make sure you are visiting the official website. Calibre is free and open source software.
Calibre is absolute garbage. When I try to use it then it just freezes and the title bar says "not responding". Much better options out there.
Oh shit. I've been saying Calibre wrong in my head for fucking years! Car-lee-bre 🤦
Is there anything currently better than this? I don't care if I have to pay for it, I just won't subscribe. I ask because once I invest my time in it, you'll need to move mountains to get me elsewhere.
try Icecream E-book reader
You should start with downloading and installing the software before going ahead with explanation of how to use the software. Just Saying.
Calibre is useless now without the DeDRM tool.
Can I just say, I absolutely hate Calibre. It has changed all my Word files so that every time I try to open them, I have to do so through their god awful software that looks like it was made in the 1980s.

There is no such thing as public domaine. Maybe in India or some other country.
Every time I convert a pdf in caliber, the ePub shows duplicates of my cover. When I delete one, they both disappear, and then the first text page ends up duplicating. So frustrating. Any idea what the problem is?
Is there an option to highlight the text in this app?
I'm looking into this too. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any. it's the hamartia of an otherwise a complete package
