Calibre vs Kindlian in our news:
2025. Calibre improves support for Kobo e-Readers
Library organizer software Calibre has released a new version 8.0.1 which boasts improved support for Kobo e-readers. Calibre can now natively edit, view and convert Kobo’s proprietary KEPUB file format to regular EPUB files for reading on non-Kobo devices and apps (like Calibre itself). Additionally, users of Kobo devices can now use Calibre to convert EPUB to KEPUB automatically when sending books across, saving time and hassle of first converting and then sending. Besides, Calibre can now connect to folders and treat them as USB mass storage devices. That might sound odd, but according to Calibre, this is especially useful if you're running Calibre on a Chromebook. That's because Chrome OS treats external USB drives as folders.
2018. Kindlian 4 is like iTunes for your Kindle
AlfaNetSoft has launched a new version of its software for managing Kindle books and collections—Kindlian 4. It introduces a new approach to handling your Kindle library. The concept is to manage the library exclusively on your PC while using your Kindle solely for reading. Essentially, it functions similarly to iTunes for your e-reader. When you first connect your Kindle to Kindlian, it backs up all your books to your computer. You can effortlessly create collections and organize books using a drag-and-drop interface. Collections are not synchronized from Kindle because, according to the developers, Amazon does not permit third-party software to access the collections file. However, you can quickly arrange and rearrange collections thanks to various viewing, sorting and searching options. Additionally, the new Kindlian includes a built-in reader for previewing non-DRM books on your PC and a converter for converting non-Kindle books to MOBI format. With your entire library on your computer, you can delete most books and collections from your Kindle, keeping only the books you're currently reading.
2012. Why you need Kindle collection manager to organize books on Kindle
Kindle e-readers with eInk screen - are perhaps the best reading devices on the market. In any case the most popular. But they have two big drawbacks. The first is the limited support for e-book formats (no support for epub, doc, fb2, ect). And the second - is very inconvenient built-in library manager. When the number of books on your Kindle grow up - you'll immediately notice it. For some reason, Amazon developers decided that folders are not cool and invented collections. Collections – is the only option for managing books in Kindle. It’s something similar to tags, because one book can be contained in two or more collections. This feature could be fine for organizing books, but not at this time. ***
