Calibre 8.13 Open-Source E-Book Manager Improves Library Export on Linux
Calibre 8.13 is a small update that only improves library export on Linux distros that mount /tmp in RAM by no longer using the /tmp directory when dealing with a large Full-Text Search (FTS) database, and improves virtual libraries by allowing users to define their search expressions more comfortably in a multi-line edit box.
On top of that, this release fixes the ebooks.com plugin in the Get Books feature, fixes the broken CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH environmental variable, and fixes a regression from Calibre 8.11 that caused errors when trying to open an ebook from the full-text search results while the search was still running.

Calibre 8.13 Released with Virtual Library Improvements
The popular open-source e-book management tool, Calibre, has just released version 8.13, with the highlight of this update being a more convenient way to define search expressions in Virtual Libraries.
Instead of typing everything into a single line, you can now use a multi-line edit box, which makes handling complex searches far more comfortable.
On Windows, Calibre now launches external programs via the native Windows API. This change helps decouple those actions from the Calibre environment, improving reliability when opening files or using “Open with.”
Moreover, a few notable bugs were also addressed. The ebooks.com plugin has been fixed, and an issue with CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH not working correctly in calibre-server has been resolved.
