Calibre ebook management and reader for the PC (Windows, OSx, Linux) is great software for better management of eReader books, with native support for just about any kind of device (
list here). For Nook users, just the ability to rename files and metadata of ebooks downloaded to a device (cover art, tags, etc.) is worth it alone—these features regrettably absent from the Nook.
There is a bit of a learning curve—not too bad, I went from download to finish in about an hour—but it's worth it in order to:
- Safely backup books from an eReader to your PC.
- Edit metadata for better organization and nicer cover art.
- Search for books from multiple sellers with a single click
- Convert books between formats.
Calbre comes with a fine ebook reader too, one of the best I've seen for a PC. You can download it for free (donations are accepted) at
calibre-ebook.com. I highly recommend watching the 10 minute introductory video on the main page.
