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

Changelog:

New Features
* News download: More flexible news downlaod scheduling. You can now schedule by days of the week, days of the month and an interval, which can be as small as an hour for news sources that change rapidly
* Improved support for dragging and dropping cover images directly from web browsers into calibre.
"You can drop the images onto the cover in calibre and it will be replaced. Tested on a number of OS/browser combinations, but I am sure there a still a few for which it wont work."
* Add shortcuts of Alt+Left and Alt+Right for the next and previous buttons in the edit metadata dialog.

Bug Fixes
* Fix long standing bug that caused errors when saving books to disk if the book metadata has certain chinese/russian characters on windows. The fix required some changes to how unicode paths are handled in calibre, so it might have broken something else. If so, please open a ticket.
