It’s the result of years of tweaking calibre’s interface based on users’ feedback. You’re never more than three clicks away from your goal. Its context menus are neatly sorted, so the things you’re looking for almost find themselves on their own. The vast number of calibre’s features and options is always clearly displayed under intuitive tabs.

Large buttons in the main window take care of most of your needs. Save time on managing your e-book collectionĬalibre’s user interface is designed to be as simple as possible. It acts as an e-library and also allows for format conversion, news feeds to eBook conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features, and an integrated e-book viewer. A second good option is Adobe Digital Edition, but it only reads epubs and PDF formats.Ĭons: Doesn't enable you to read books from external storage devices without first having to import them to its shelf, which means the taking up of space in you internal HD.Calibre Portable is a program to manage your eBook collection. The minus side of Stanza is that it cannot work without Java.

In my experience Stanza has been the best alternative to save space in my PC HD and be able to read from any external storage device, not to mention the possibility of reading and converting a good variety of ebook formats. With Calibre, everytime you want to open a book stored in an external HD, it will automatically import the book from the external device to your PC HD so as to display it on its shelf and enable the reading. If you like me, want to save precious space in your PC Hard Drive and for this reason keep all your ebooks in an external storage device, then Calibre is not a good option. Not a good option for those who need to save space in their HD.
