Greetings #Linuxeros, members of the #Linux&Softwarefree community, the entire #Linux community in #Hive and @linux-software, welcome to a new post of #ViernesDeEscritorio. Today, as always, I want to tell you about one of the great free software, that the #Linux community, puts in our hands, as a reliable working tool.

The software, which I want to talk about today, is Calibre, which I want to present and make known, for the benefit of all digital readers, this #ViernesDeEscritorio, along with my Cinnamon desktop, Linux Mint 22 "Wilma".

Recently, I was looking for a book that I had saved in one of my folders. It was a job security book, which a friend asked me urgently. The truth was that I searched for the book for a long time, since I had not saved it neither by author, nor by name, but the book had a numerical code before the name.

When I was about to give up and tell my friend, that I hadn't found it, I saw on the external hard drive the folder of the portable version of Calibre. And at that moment I remembered that a couple of years ago I had fixed my library, and I had that portable folder as a backup, with all the files.

So when I opened the folder, I ran the program, searched by the category: "Occupational Health and Safety" and got the book right away. After that, I installed Calibre again on my PC, and started using it again, since I had forgotten, this excellent program.

Calibre, is a free software digital book manager, it is multiplatform, created by Kovid Goyal in 2006, with the intention of generating open source digital book manager, to be used in #Linux. This program helps us to catalog and save digital books in an orderly way, so we can locate the books ordered to our liking, by topics, categories or authors, in a simple way, since this tool allows us to create our own library.

What can we do with Calibre? :

---

1- Organize our library.
2 - Import books.
3- You can open and read all digital book formats.
4- It has different ways to organize and create categories in the library.
5- The metadata of the books can be edited.
6- It has a built-in PAB file reader.
7- You can convert the book into different formats.
8- You can connect devices like Kindle to Calibre, and you can switch from the device to Kindle and vice versa, making the conversions automatically.
9- You can underline and make comments, from different texts in a book.You can take out the underlined texts in a file for later use in articles, essays and writings.
10- All the books that we download are saved in the Calibre folder, so we can access them at any time.
11- You can search and download books automatically with Calibre.
12- You have access to magazines and news, which you can download to Calibre, by scheduling this task.
13- You can share your library if you wish.
14- You can configure the size of the letters and adapt it to your taste for reading.
15- Comment, what a Caliber, it does not have an internal PDF reader, nor a text file. So, although when one has books and texts in these formats, the program opens them in the software that we have to read them, in my case, the text files are opened in OnlyOffice and the PDF files in Okular.

How to install Calibre? :

You can download it from their website, for the different platforms, you can also download it from Flatpak.
From the website, you can download the portable version. This allows you to have your Calibre Library on a UBS or on an external hard drive, so you can use it whenever you want.

To install Calibre from the terminal, I recommend following the instructions on the official site. To go to the official website in Spanish, click on this link.
