Hello fellow readers,
Here's a new gift for 2017.
QRCode Tracker Filidel is a free and open source plugin for e-book library management application Calibre. It runs in “Edit Book” mode.
Its main purpose is to append a QR code at the end of each chapter in a book. When scanned, this code is converted into a message to help you keep track of your reading progress.
Its use case is for e-readers that are for a reason or another disconnected from internet.
The source is available on the
GitHub project home page.
