Comments about FBReader as an Alternative to calibre
Top Negative CommentIt is an e-book reader. It does mot manage libraries or convert formats.
The beta for Windows will be available in 2015. We're talking end 2018 now. Furthermore it is a reader only. Calibre is a book management system.
Calibre is about organization, library management, and conversion between different formats for just about any device. The fact that it happens to have a reader is almost inconsequential, thus recomending a piece of software that only reads is very unhelpful.
