Calibre is a free and open source e-book library management application developed by users of e-books for users of e-books.

It has a cornucopia of features divided into the following main categories:

1. Library Management
2. E-book conversion
3. Syncing to e-book reader devices
4. Downloading news from the web and converting it into e-book form
5. Comprehensive e-book viewer
6. Content server for online access to your book collection

New Features

• Experimental support for generating Amazon's new KF8 format MOBI files
• Upgrade to using cssutils 0.9.9 for CSS parsing. Improved speed and robustness.
• Show cover size in a tooltip in the conversion dialog
• Driver for Nook Simple Touch with Glow Light

Bug Fixes

• Heuristics: When italicizing words do not operate on words not in between HTML tags.
• Fix (I hope) the bulk metadata download process crashing for some people on OS X when clicking the Yes button to apply the updates.
• Fix tooltip not being updated in the book details panel when pasting in a new cover
• Cover Browser: Wrap the title on space only, not in between words.
• Edit metadata dialog: If a permission denied error occurs when clicking the next or prev buttons, stay on the current book.
• Fix heuristics not removing unnecessary hyphens from the end of lines.

It's old version is also available in Ubuntu Software Center.
