[Alexander Turcic]

calibre 1.0 was revealed less than a month ago, and already Kovid has pushed out the third point release for his most popular e-book library software. Yes, dear e-book aficionados, that means you've got a new calibre download that fixes various issues and adds a few improvements as well.

Detailed changelog for calibre 1.3:

New Features

• When doing searches or switching between virtual libraries in the main book list, preserve the current book. The currently selected book will remain visible if it is present in the results of the search or the selected virtual library
• Drivers for Oppo Find 5 and PocketBook Mini 515

Bug Fixes
