A powerful and easy to use e-book manager
Calibre is a complete e-library solution. It includes library management, format conversion, news feeds to e-book conversion, e-book viewer and editor, and e-book reader sync features.
Calibre is primarily an e-book cataloging program. It manages your e-book collection for you.

It also supports conversion to and from a dozen different e-book formats.
