Newer devices like Kobo Aura HD requires newer versions of calibre for their new firmwares. Current calibre package does not support them.

Also, our current calibre packages in both core and backports repositories have a security issue (CVE-2016-10187). Newer versions of calibre 2.75.0 + fixes this issue. So, i decided to update leaf package calibre-2.78.0 to Mageia 5.1

Testing procedure not covers all features of calibre since it has way much more features those cannot be listed here. So i cover main functionalities below.

Testing Procedure for functionality:
1- After installing calibre-2.78.0 open it via your desktop's menu.
2- Create a new library and try to import some e-books into it.
3- Try to edit a books details by right clicking and selecting "Edit metadata" > "Edit metadata individually" see if getting metadata from internet or other options work.
4- Try to convert an e-book format into another e-book format
5- Try to export all or few e-books into your e-book reader.

No installation issues
Exercized first three steps of Comment 1 successfully. I have no ebook reader, so I amnot familiar with those formats, if the "higher powers" agree, this is OK for me.

Prior to testing x64, @Atilla
I have downloaded e-books in .pdf .epub .mobi
Are these 3 enough? If not, is there any other free format one can download?
Do we offer an e-book reader - in which case, what?
TIA

Thank you for your testing Herman.

Lewis, i think those formats are enough. Altough pdf to other formats converting isn't satisfactionary with all utilities including calibre.

We don't offer an e-book reader but if you have one, try a supported one i.e. kobo or kindle brands.
