This version introduces several notable features, most importantly, support for generating page number files (APNX) on MTP-based Kindle devices from 2024 and beyond. Additionally, Calibre 8.7 has improved its ability to ignore the \u201cet al.\u201d suffix when searching for similar e-books by author name.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside these updates, the Kobo driver has been revised to resolve a regression affecting older pre-Touch Kobo devices, ensuring they remain compatible with the software. There are also improvements to the MTP driver, which now includes a workaround for issues where LibMTP fails to return device serial numbers on certain systems.<\/p>\n<p>Other refinements in this update address a previous bug in Calibre 8.6 that disrupted the configuration for transferring books to devices, as well as a flaw concerning the series and publisher mapping rules that mismanaged commas when downloading single book metadata. Furthermore, the Next\/Previous buttons in the Text search feature have been corrected.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, the Edit Metadata dialog has been enhanced, stretching multiline fields vertically to maximize space utilization. The update also improves several news sources, benefiting users who rely on those features.<\/p>\n<p>For a complete overview of the changes in Calibre 8.7, users can refer to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/whats-new\">release notes<\/a> and download the latest version from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/download\">official website<\/a>, where binaries for 64-bit and ARM64 Linux systems, as well as versions for macOS and Windows, are readily available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calibre 8.7 has just been released by developer Kovid Goyal, marking the latest stable version of this open-source e-book management software.
