Discovering the Joys of E-Books with Calibre

I was lucky to come across a collection of Cybersecurity E-Books on Humble Bundle, spending around 40 NZD to receive 21 books. After paying for and downloading the books, the PDF’s weren’t named tidily, so I decided to use Calibre to organize my collection. Calibre categorized the books under author subdirectories and named them by title nicely. It couldn’t open the PDF’s itself, it does a good job cataloguing. Do you have any favourite tools or scripts for managing E-Books? Please let me know 😊 Cheers, Ben

+1 for Calibre. Makes it easy to convert various formats into one that one's ebook reader (eg on Android) handles best. Cheers, Peter
