BookONO E-book Manager
BookONO is a free e-book manager and reader (PDFs and EPubs fully supported) designed as a compliment to Calibre. It is written in C++ using the Qt5 Toolkit. It is different from Calibre in that it makes a few different design decisions than Calibre, for instance it does not attempt to put all your books in its own library or change their names. Where Calibre attempts to take complete control over your books, BookONO gives you control over your books. BookONO further attempts to take a different direction in terms of its UI, providing a more user-friendly, aesthetically-pleasing experience than Calibre.

2015. BookONO adds a PDF and EPub reader



Etopian has released a new version of its BookONO E-book Manager with PDF reader and EPub reader. It also features upgrade to Qt5, author filters, notes and toolbar for notes, button to the notes toolbar to add current date and time, cloud syncing between all three platforms, categories and tags. BookONO does not attempt to reinvent or rewrite Calibre’s programming, instead calling Calibre to do many of the tasks that Calibre already does… We hope in the future to rewrite slow aspects of Calibre, naively in C++; but leave the rest of the job to Calibre which Kovind Goyal has obviously put a lot of thought into and we’re grateful for that.
