Calibre is the best software to manage your ebooks and to convert them from one format into another, but it lacked any real integration with the operating system. This can now be changed with the Unity Calibre Scope, in Ubuntu 13.10.

In case you didn’t know, the latest Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) comes with a very nifty feature integrated straight into the operating system. It’s also present in older Ubuntu systems, but the new version implemented in 13.10 is quite something.
