Maybe it's the news of the month and maybe not. But recently, Caliber has added an ebook editor that will allow Caliber users to be able to edit ebooks from the tool itself without having to use any other tool such as Sigil. The ebook publisher was incorporated on December 13 in Caliber with an update, but it is now, after the update released Christmas Day ( we are not the only ones who give gifts) when the ebook editor becomes more meaningful and powerful within Caliber as it allows more modifications to be made.
A few weeks ago we learned the sad news of the momentary abandonment of Sigil, a Free Software tool that gave incredible results when creating ebooks and for a ridiculous price: the program is free. It seems that the community of Sigil as well as that of Caliber they have not remained with their hands crossed before this news and Caliber has taken over so as not to forget free ebook editing software tools. Currently there is nothing confirmed by Caliber about adopting the lines of Sigil, but a long time ago, the creator of Sigil spoke of a change to Github on the recommendation of the Caliber developers, so surely, the Caliber ebook editor is a (metaphorical) son of Sigil.
What's in the Caliber ebook editor
The ebook editor we have today in Caliber It is the result of three updates that have incorporated tools to the editor to create ebooks from Caliber. This editor uses the html markup language, so it won't be difficult for web developers. Among the latest additions made, the possibility of create an ebook from scratch, edit the tags and metawords of the epub and, the edition of the styles have been improved that significantly improve the visual aspect of the ebook. What's more, Caliber development group has enabled a web to learn how to handle this ebook editor, so it seems that Caliber plans to expand beyond being a simple ebook manager.
Opinion
Updates with such a short time margin to check their effects are seldom recommended, but of course, this is not the case. The update not only seems interesting but necessary, since this latest update enhances the ebook editor much more, making it one more feature that encourages us to use this program. On the other hand, it seems that with sigil stagnation and with the advancement of new technologies, especially in the area of DRM, the adoption of new ebook publishers seems imperative and it also seems that Caliber is going to say something about this.
