Calibre 8.14 E-Book Manager Adds Tolino Firmware Support

The popular open-source e-book management tool, Calibre, has just released version 8.14, with the update’s highlight being an enhanced Tolino driver support, ensuring full compatibility with the latest Tolino firmware.

At the same time, Calibre 8.14 introduces smarter language completions. When users type within language fields, the software now displays all languages containing the typed string, not just those that start with it.

Additionally, when using substring match mode, Calibre now orders results based on how closely the match appears to the start of the query, improving accuracy and workflow speed.
